My inspiration comes from many places and people, but I am most inspired and excited by architecture, nature, and landscapes. The graceful drape of a willow branch waving in the wind, the dappled sunshine on dogwood leaves in the fall, or a bright red cardinal perched atop a snow-covered branch never ceases to intrigue me.
