Life is an everyday art show to me. The beauty and the ugliness in everything and everyone constantly reminds me to stay conscious in my own life. I dance to life’s rhythm every day with the colors and the endless opportunities that surround me. Art captures my moments and freezes it in time. It holds my attention longer than usual…and makes me pause to think. While life can be an inconvenience at times, it can also be quite impressive. What’s life if I do not stop and smell the roses, pick them, bring them home, put them in water and finally watch them die? Life is art, and art is life to me….everyday and ever changing.
I adore art that expresses emotion through different outcomes in everyday living. I gravitate towards design that makes me feel something inside; something that makes me laugh, dream, cry and even care. I like dark imagery a lot as well. I have felt most inspired through dark moments in my life. The satisfaction of conquering those moments made light of the matter amazing. After all, “ pain” is in “painting“, and painting helps me heal my pain. It is a time capsule I cover for someone else to find, and to let the individual interpret their own sense behind it. Perhaps my pain can help some understand their pain
