I enjoy collaborating on the creation of a piece of my art. Because I build my own frames, I can create a piece of art in a specific size. I prefer to design the color palette for a commissioned piece but, I always say if you ask for a white piece I will not give you a black one.

We were surrounded by virgin desert. I explored every rock and slope of my neighborhood, finding wildlife and plant life in abundance. I would play with the desert frogs swimming in puddles left after a summer rain. I would follow the desert tortoise from his burrow to his feeding ground. I would fall asleep at night hearing the coyote howl outside my bedroom window. I’d wake early in the morning and walk the desert behind my house, filling my senses with the sweet spicy smells of greasewood, brittlebush and mesquite.

There is nothing quite like it and it is in my blood.

Over the next 20 years I attended numerous classes and workshops on the art and science of hair color. I developed a strong sense of color theory that not only brought me success as a hair colorist but gave me a solid foundation for using color in my art.

I studied photography at Phoenix College in the 1970s, in classes taught by well-known Arizona photographer Allen Dutton. I built my own darkroom and created a collection of art photographs which I still have. And, for a time, I was a wedding and portrait photographer.
