Pick one…

…I desired some
cut flowers
for this very
“cool vase!”

…and let me
tell you right now
I have all these
“flowers!”

…so I checked
every single
“bloom”
in the
“garden!”

…then I carefully
snipped and cut
just a few selected
“petals!”

I then arranged and stylized these “beauties” into this fun display of blooms!

After that was done and “the multi vase” situated,
I then started to revise and assess all the photos that had been taken…

… which led upon inspection,
for me to consequently change my profile image!

    That is such a fun photo of you!! I love all the flowers and the vase, it’s so whimsical. I think my favorite flowers are those raspberry-looking ones, what are they?

Art Statement

When I take the time to look and to really see and to apply my "foolish" imagination, there are worlds within worlds within worlds to be discovered.

When I allow my eyes to be excited and fascinated and pleased at what they see, I begin a journey, inventing a path to the place I choose to go; and magic happens!
