Living in Albuquerque area and El Paso, I was close to many Indian Reservations and also Cooper Canyon in Mexico. The faces of the Southwest are so full of expression and are weathered by the outdoors.

My dining room table. All I need is strong lighting and a good Hallmark movie.

Night time seems to be best for me, when I relax and have time to sit and concentrate.
Do you listen to music or have complete silence when you work?
Sometimes music or a good movie!
Describe your creative process.
I like to try to do a grouping of different aged faces. Sometimes I like to work from the eyes out or start with wild and crazy hair------
What else would you like people to know about your art?
I like doing portraits of children for parents or grandparents, usually doing them black and white with a spot of color.
