Art was and always had been my passion. Through FOTO ART, I worked digitally through mixed media of photography, collage, and paint.
Portrait art had always intrigued me. My inspiration came from the photographs my clients sent me. Every photo represented a blank canvas, a canvas that enabled my mind’s eye to create and recreate endless possibilities. I looked at the face and imagined who that person was, perhaps imagining them through a different portal of time.
The nudes in my Boudoir Collection told a different story. They represented the unique lines, curves, softness, and the simple beauty of a woman’s body.

We were pleased to announce that 100% of the night’s raffle proceeds were donated to the Taylor Matthews Foundation. The TMF was dedicated to raising awareness and funding pediatric cancer research and treatments. The TMF funded cutting-edge research and treatments that reached cancer-stricken children TODAY, not months or years from then. The foundation was in memory of young Taylor Matthews, who tragically lost her battle with pediatric cancer at the tender age of sixteen. It was their mission that children with cancer would live long and productive lives.
