I believe that beauty is everywhere. Each day is comprised of moments of love. Day by day the amount varies, sometimes its a kitty kiss or viewing a colorful sunset. Other days its sharing ice cream with my husband, a six hour chat with my best friend, or singing along to my favorite song as I drive through the streets of San Francisco.
We are surrounded by distractions. Its easy to forget the love. The tiny, squishy, upside down and sneaky love. Love that travels from afar and love that has a home inside us. I see it in the faces of my friends, the animals around us, the warm embrace of my husband and my daughter's smile.
When I decided to pursue art as a career I said repeatedly "I just want to make people happy." In the rush and rhythm of daily life I started to pause and capture these moments. Soon, the path to making people happy became clear - I simply had to draw from this everyday love.
