Brought up in a household surrounded by art, fashion, science, food, culture, and music, creative juices run wild through my veins. If I'm not learning, creating, and sharing, I am not living. I have found that many of these things can be found in culinary art. More specifically, baking. It is a challenge that forces you to keep learning. A force that refuses to not be at the center of any community. And, all the while is a work of art. The beauty in a simple ball of dough and the transformation into the dramatic crusty loaf of bread, in my opinion, begs to be captured by the lens. The kitchen is full of art and I don't intend on leaving it any time soon. If I'm not in the kitchen I am soaking up the beauty that surrounds me on the beautiful island of Maui. The sunset will never cease to amaze me. It is tough. But, I try my hardest to capture the vast array of colors that go through the sky here every evening. It's an ever changing art exhibition in our backyard.
