“The nature of life is to come together for a short beautiful period, then fall apart to go make other beauty.” Making art and illustrations is like this. Sometimes they come together and work, while other times they don’t. 

Living in Florida, I am drawn to nature’s constant coming together and falling apart. The beauty is quieter here, revealed only when you get up close. It is not the same as the majestic Colorado Rockies or the wind-swept northwest coast. On Florida’s west coast, there is sugary white sand, turquoise water, and warm tropical breezes. And there are always new restaurants, bars, hotels, and beaches waiting to be explored.

Beauty, it seems, is transitory. Like many people, I am constantly making sense of change. I provide illustrated writing to entertain and help educate. I combine an artist’s eye and a strong creative judgement to determine if the writing works. It’s about knowing what to keep. It’s about using creativity to make our messages feel less generic. No AI was used to generate my own writing, but I recognize many are using it and I hope to help them humanize their content through specialized editing.
