BIO: A trip to New York City during the summer of 2015, offered much inspiration. While in New York I met with a painter from Chicago. We discussed art and visited many of the contemporary galleries. I decided to create the Spring/Summer 2017 collection based on the streets of New York and contemporary ArtI travel quite often and take photographs of what I see. Each journey gives me a rich source of information. I draw inspiration from natural scenery, architecture, history, and urban environments. Other finds may influence my work too.
