The ocean’s proud waves sweep across the sand. Its hungry thirst for land ever stunted by this one mandate: “this far you may come but no farther.” — The Creator

I have lived in Melbourne Beach, Florida for twelve years and have seen the truth of the above statement.  Although water erosion does exist, and the shoreline dropped ten feet, in truth, the water ever remains in its place and stops in the same place designated.  Similar to waves, my background continuously hungers to explore new knowledge and skills – thus acquiring a repertoire of experience.

My journey in art started back in elementary school.  Throughout the years fine tuning skills brought much serenity.  The results are displayed in my personal website.  Although pastels brought pleasure, watercolors exhibits an excitement.  The translucency of the medium fascinates the mind.

The ocean may have its bars set, but that does not mean it stops trying.  My personal motto is never quit, never stop pressing forward.  Who knows what may lie beyond the crest of the waves.
