'perched on the edge of your door'

Architectual

Architecture has always held a fascination for me.  I am drawn to doors and windows in particular, as they truly are the 'eyes' and soul of a building. I am also deeply connected to a sense of 'home' which is evident in many of my works.  My homes have varied from cabins in the American midwest to a Cape Dutch in a large city in Africa.  They have been old and new, but they all have had one thing in common.  They are unique- they speak of me in a way that I could never explain to a decorator.  They ooze my scent and travels and spirituality- they connect me to where I need to be.  My nesting instincts are strong- I could never be a nomad.
