Art reflects life. Artists express their experiences visually for themselves, but in creating, they connect with others who see themselves in their works. The act of creating is a transformation, a learning experience, and a way to articulate what cannot be put into words. Art is being brave; it is a window to freedom, a sanctuary for the artist, and a gift to the viewer who takes the time to look and connect through the artist’s interpretation of the world they live in.
I want viewers to find beauty, a voice, and inspiration in my work. I want them to know that they can create too. It is not selfish or too late to begin your own creative journey. Just start by drawing items around you with whatever mediums and surfaces are available to you. Just remember, the only bad creations are the ones you never had the courage to start.
