Creative influences can come from anywhere.

I happen to have two creative parents...each different but artistic in their own way.
My dad's talent is more obvious. His profession as a singer pretty much highlights his creative gift...and what a gift it is! Amazing. ( Click here to learn about Jerry Vale )
My mom's talent is more subtle but was still a huge influence on me. She is innately creative on a daily basis...doing anything from decorating their home, to setting the table, to tending her garden (the rose above), to choosing her wardrobe.
I have been incredibly blessed to have extremely creative role models and unlimited support for my art to grow!
