I love the National Geographic documentaries filming Antarctic penguins swimming under the ice fishing for food. they are so graceful, quick, and beautiful . . . I would love to swim so gracefully with them in all that delicious blue and silvery magic.

Growing up in the desert region of Arizona, I learned the value of water as a precious life-giving resource and as a source of danger with the annual monsoons’ flash floods. I love being in the water and am swimming, surfing, snorkeling whenever I can be. I am bonded with it spiritually . . . the movement of water and the changes that it brings about is a major inspiration in my artwork.
