My interests and passions have always been varied and, at most, eclectic. I've worked in various fields including banking and technology while maintaining my interest in art and antiques. After years of working in a traditional career path in these industries, I committed to my art full-time by relocating my family from Los Angeles to my hometown: Durham, North Carolina. In addition to the fine arts I also returned to my other passion, that of antiques and collectibles. One of my first endeavors after moving back to North Carolina was to renovate and restore an old historic building (4,000 square feet) for an art studio, Amoore Art Studio. After opening the studio and displaying some of the antiques and collectibles I've amassed over the years, I found that there was a demand for my skills as a restorer, preserver and renovator. The art studio soon turned into Amoore Art and Antiques. The redirection to include antiques and collectibles led to eleven TV appearances regarding the topic and expanded my interest in making new furniture by recycling the old. It would be nice to end with "and the rest, as they say, is history", but like many things in life, that is not the case. Like all great plans, they always lead you to other directions than what you intended. Failure is always an option in the best of plans, but I consider this not as a deterrent but rather a learning opportunity. I'm documenting my experiences, both mistakes and successes, in my DIY site. The decision to move the art and antiques business from it's physical location to the internet was a long and arduous process but one that I believe is a well thought out and sound decision. This medium allows me more time and flexibility to devote and nurture the main focus of my business in the first place, art and antiques. By gifting my inner spirit the peace it needs to create, I believe my ability to create is further enhanced. Amoore Art and Antiques is my attempt to educate, support and recycle, combining the past with the present. I'd like to share how one's soul can be fed by simply having the sense of existing - by being conscious of how we fit in our environment, our community, our relationships and life in general. Appreciation of the past is my way of connecting my present to the whole of my existence. I think you will probably find parts of yourself within my creations - be it in the art or the antiques.
