What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters

compared to what lies within us. 

(Ralph Waldo Emerson.. if I'm wrong let me know)

Make your earth walk a meaningful one.

    This quote has had a tremendous impact on my artistic endeavors, my choices in creativity, and my appreciation for the creations of others.

Another favorite quote:

"Interpreting a picture is an interesting intellectual activity which often tells us more about ourselves than the artist."

Michael Dickinson 

whose work can be viewed here.

    Through my art I have learned to express issues that are important to me.  Sometimes my art, like a photograph, captures meaningful moments in my life.

     I feel that there are infinite ways to express oneself, the canvas is my stage for free expression.

     I have not had formal training, I have trained myself through curiosity and experimentation.

     I started my own business in Berkeley, CA painting houses and was known as "THE WEEKEND PAINTER"  My professional work included Faux finish, Tromp L' oeil, murals, and furniture refinishing. 

     I try hard to work with materials that are least harmful to the environment, and plan projects that   conserve on supplies, and  respect  the well being of our earth.

     I am a member of the Rivertown Gallery in downtown Memphis where many of my latest works are on display. I create art work by commission, I can be reached through the Rivertown gallery or via karafree1@comcast.net

     Life is discovering that there are infinite possibilities, art is the sharing of those discoveries.
