ART, Other Artist, Photography, Books, Film, Vision, Promise, Beauty... Seizing every opportunity any using it to it's full potential. We all have things to learn and we all have things we can teach to others. Recognizing what each person has to offer to use is a gift. Even the bad things in life teach us and strenghten us.I love what I do and everyday I feel blessed that I am able to make a living drawing and painting for other people. I draw house portraits, to keep me in practice for creating my real art. To experience life for what it is to me. "You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it come true." This life is my wish, my dream come true. I do what I love and I love what I do. What could be better than that.
Any other ARTIST. Entrepreneurs. People who are motived. People who love life. People who love the smell of paint in the morning. People who believe in themselves, people who believe in success. People who are happy for their own success and the success of others. People who are happy, funny, positive. People who are creative. People who believe in a world beyond themselves.
