Artists Statement:

I've been creating art almost my entire life... the stories I could tell. Mostly self-taught, I experiment with different forms of medium to achieve the overall look and design of what I am trying to achieve.Art is a required necessity and has become more of a staple in my life than anything. Like a good well-balanced diet. Art serves a mentally logical reason as well. Productivity, a sense of immortality (as I know I won't live forever but my art very well may), an outlet for expression are but a few reasons. A true focus on what I love in my life is where my inspiration comes from.In all the years I have experimented with various kinds of media like oils, acrylics airbrush, sculpture, glass, etc..My experience has also taught me to create copies from masters of art for commission. Not something that I do on a daily basis, however it helps me strengthen my abilities and experience. This has helped me survive at times when necessary.Most of my creations have remained hidden .... I have always created just to have fun and create. The art form and true discipline is different for every artist and each creation allows an artist to grow and change within themselves. When other people have a chance to understand that vision then you know that you have created a beautiful piece of work.
