My
newest work the "Spirit Series" include the Spirit of a Woman, Spirit
of a Man, Spirit of Prayer, Spirit of Life, Spirit of a Legacy, and the Spirit
of Freedom. The "Spirit Series" illustrates life’s journey. It
represents the light within us all and remembering the greatness we all have
inside. Each piece is uniquely created with symbols and meaning illustrating the
beauty of the world around us and how differences can be woven into something
beautiful.
I
strongly support organizations that empower women and children and volunteer
with the National Conference of Community and Justice.
