I believe in BEAUTY...in my artwork. In myself. And in the people and the world around me. I believe in laughter, and being silly, even with yourself. I believe in making time for yourself. I believe in inner strength just as much as outer. I believe in giving your heart the reigns. I believe that it's the small things that people do that are usually the most important. I believe that there is art, and beauty, everywhere, if you just let yourself see it. My passion is to paint/draw the beauty that I see, and beauty that I imagine, and sharing that with the world. I believe in being sensual. I believe that inside every lamb...is a lion.***Please don't write to me, asking if I'll design a tattoo for you. I DO have artwork for sale, and I do take comissions...but please don't ask me to paint a picture of your cat/dog, a relative that's passed away, etc. If you have something creative in mind, that's somewhat along the lines of what you see in my artwork, by all means please feel free to contact me :)
"Every artist undresses his subject, whether human or still life. It is his business to find essences in surfaces, and what more attractive and challenging surface than the skin around a soul?"-Richard Corliss..."I don't know myself," he said. "I sit down with a white board before the spot that strikes me, and I say, 'That white board must become something!' I work for a long time, I come back home dissatisfied, I put it away in the closet. When I have rested a little I go to look at it with a kind of fear. I am still dissatisfied because I have too clearly in my mind the splendid original to be content with what I have made of it. but after all, I find in my work an echo of what struck me. I see that nature has told me something, has spoken to me, and that I have put it down in shorthand. In my shorthand there may be words that cannot be deciphered, there may be mistakes or gaps, but there is something in it of what the woods or beach or figure has told me. Do you understand?"
-Lust For Life by Irving StoneOcean pulls me close...
and whispers in my ear...
The destiny I've chose...
All becoming clear...
