The written or spoken word has always been such a big part of my life.

Authors such as Richard Bach, (who wrote JonathanLivingston Seagull,

Illusions and many more great books), Kahlil Gibran , Eckhart Tolle and

Guy Finley have truly inspired me to stay present and to be in touch with

my feelings. The word has also influenced my art and plays an important

role in the creation that emerges on the blank canvas's . My series on

String theory were inspired by articles I have read and that I chose to

paint my impression of.
