I am Art

I  am Art!!!!

I am art. It’s what I know. It’s how I release. It’s my life.  

I can only remember being inspired by various art forms from childhood, whether my dad’s music, my mom’s dance, or my inclination to draw and paint. The extent of my formal training includes high school classes for computer graphics, sketching, and painting. While I’ve had no additional formal training, I’ve always known this is what I am meant to do. Create,  

share, inspire, and be inspired. Turn my thoughts, feelings, and emotions into artwork.  

Just like other aspects of life, my surroundings and experiences have impacted my work. Music and dance, days spent outside as a kid, and school classes all shaped how I see the world.  

Life is art. Life inspires me. Daily life makes me think of art. I didn’t set out to create artwork  

relating to a particular subject matter using a specific style or technique. Those details just  

come as they do. My painting always develops and evolves into my perception of what I  

see and feel.  

 I have come to notice a pattern of musical reference and depiction of emotions  

through portraits, I don't create with a message in mind but rather allow the work to speak for itself and the viewer to take away their perceptions and emotions.
