Art is
my passion, my joy, my ability to overcome adversity, my opportunity to express
myself, and it’s just plain fun. I have
struggled to learn, improve and grow.
Right now I fluctuate between experimenting and learning through several
media, and intent to express myself.
They are both important to me. I
would say my abilities in problem solving outweigh my creativity and technical
skill and therefore I am always seeking a new approach to something and way to
artistically solve a visual problem I pose for myself. Sometimes I paint spontaneously and sometimes
I think about and study an idea for days and work on the various steps to make
it happen. Sometimes I redo a theme when
I feel I have finally conquered my process.
My art is a work in progress and always will be. I believe in Karma, a chance in this world to
manipulate the material in order to grow spiritually. Art is part of my Karma, my challenge along
with being the love of my life.
