...it was the first time

A thousand sensations
run
through me
tormenting my mind
as much as
pleasing it.

Heart drenching words
encompass
my body.

•

Maybe everything in life and in our lives,
is meant to be kept secret.

•

I know what love is,
or so I think.

E S S E N C E
...the memories I have of you are endless

I am what I was made to be.

•

You watched me grow
into the woman that I am today.
You helped me become a better person.
I will never forget the day I met you.

•

I have faith in myself and my work.
I have faith in my friends and their abilities to
accomplish
everything they dream of.

B L U E  M O O N
... why was I put on Earth?

Am I here to serve a purpose in life?
Yet, I'm another day older.
Another year closer.

•

I have never really let anyone in to see the true me, because
- the true me is a scary thing to experience.

As a person, a human being,
I often find myself thinking about what
I am suppose to feel.

•

I love the way . . .
no one ever held my hand.

R E F L E C T I O N
...nothing can ever harm me or this space and time
I'm really meticulous about contrast in my images. While working with
black and white backgrounds, the heightened visibility created
allows for my emotion to be portrayed more clearly.

•

You my dear...
Let me bring color
into your black and white world.

•

At this moment I send you a kiss as well...
a moment that you shall never forget.
It is not a thought, because thoughts are just a memory.
It's my love that I want to give to you, and that I am giving,
all that I am, and will become, and you are part of it.

We all have so much love to give.
Thank you for receiving mine through my art.
