I began taking
my art career seriously as an elementary student, when my binder paper doodles gained more acclaim from my teachers than my
academics. I've still never taken an art class.
Inspiration and creation are simultaneous and spontaneous, and tend to last for several hours, sometime days,
and even weeks at a time. On the other hand, there are lengths of time when I don't paint, shifting my focus to literature,
and music.
My art emulates the different places I have gone in the world and with in myself. Good, bad,
and indifferent, I have an insatiable need to express it through art. Most often I just put the brush to the canvas, and see
where it wants to take me. Movement, bright colors, and emotional subjects are constants in my work, and in my life! Art is
my diligent companion, and it creates me just as much as I create it.
