“We were born to co-create with our Heavenly Father. When God touches me with His supernatural encounters, I want to be ready, not only to create, but to direct those younger than me to pursue their creative potential. Some days, I’m drawn to learn from the early masters of the Renaissance, and on other days, I simply ask God to unveil another depth in my artistic understanding. There are those days where I simply love to just embrace the colors and designs taught to me by my Russian dad. In turn, these revelations are to be handed over to the next generation in the form of teaching and mentoring.” After a not so long retirement of 6 years………I am back teaching independently via Home schooled and Saturday Workshops.
“I am careful where I walk. However, in the same sense I have learned over the years to not shy from taking risks with my art. My blogs are raw and often push the edge. On this side of my life, I don’t want to miss an opening.”
