Many people would look at my art and try to classify it into a certain category. This got me to thinking about how I could describe my style.  My style can be described as real whimfansical. This description comes from the fact that my art is a combination of three styles. It is whimsical, mixed with fantasy and realism. After thinking about this combination I came up with the name real whimfansical, pronounced (whim-fans-ical). The name includes all three elements: whimsical, fantasy, and realism to produce whimfansical. I know this is a little difficult to remember so I use the abbreviation RWF art.

God has given me many gifts in life.  The most beautiful and precious are my husband Lubega and my daughter Samantha.  They give me everything I need to be who I am.

I love being an artist. Art is not only something that I do it’s my best friend.  If you take care of it, it will take care of you in the future. It’s a friendship that I try to build every day of my life.

In 2013, the beautiful idea of whimfansical art was birthed. These are characters filled with stories and imagination.
