I create art because...

Feel a strong connection to what i create. For me it is like going into such a refined meditation and truly enjoying the journey and process of creating and seeing the end result of what it is is amazing. It creates a inner peace. That is truly true to ones self.

I am different to most artists because...

My art is very unique because it is my art a true express of my inner most deepest feelings come out onto the canvas paper. Expressing myself in many forms. Creating different style and techniques along the way. Only to explore the creative process even further. And all that this process has to offer. Studding what you have created a thought process begins to happen then from this process magic begins of being in the moment.

When you look at my art, the thing I want you to feel is...

Everyone of us see's and visualize differently. The thought process happens. Of what might or might not be. But truly look and see what this means to you and how it effects your emotions it may represent something deep in your heart. Or a simple memory that you had.

The thing I most want to say to non-artists is...

Be creative learn the arts. Just go with the flow of creating. Enjoy the process.

I believe art is an important part of our lives because...

Art is so important because it gives a sense of inner freedom to express our thoughts feelings on canvas paper. Sometimes a emotion can come up then leading to true discovery of ones self. And going with that emotion can have a tremendous healing effect. Along with a lot of other benefits. Greif, Sadness, Loss,
