Art for me is born out of the need to express out like rays of the sun. It becomes that unique style, habits, or technique used to present yourself into the grand scheme of things- life(Whether it be vocal, visual, theater, painting, pottery, sculpture, literature, music, dance, or even mime. It is a communication attraction that transcend languages, cultures, and worlds. This becomes your light- this is how you shine!!!

"HOMELESS NO MORE" (NO ONE LEFT BEHIND)
22 X 28"
The silent but tragic signs of homelessness among military veterans (whether housing, health, or sense of well being). Homeless for me became a terms of detachment. Separated from a once vibrant world and family you once had the honor to protect and serve. Veterans make up one out of every four individuals among the often time forgotten homeless poplulation. This art comes as visual notice to those veterans, their families, and communities that help is avallable here and now from local Veterans Organizatios to the national Veteran Administration.
"SUN-SETTING"A moment of reflection we all find ourselves when basking in the warmthness of an evening sun. The stillness of thoughts often leads many to ponder the beauty of life and why we are "the chosen one" to have the pleasure of it. |
"AFTER THE STORM"
|
The beauty of other artists artwork is educational and inspiring, however, it is only when you experience the curated process yourself that you get to know your own inner joy that leads to inner peace. Trained professional artists require dedicated hours of hard work and sacrifice to fit within standards and guidelines that may be required for their job. Discouraging to say the least. This method is not for everybody, nor was it for some of the world's most renowned artists like Van Gogh, Dali, and Picasso. They Surely thought outside of the box- not in it. freedom of self expression was paramount. Fortunately you are in a position to do the same as an ordinary person looking to express an extra ordinary version of existence.

"ONE LAST LOOK BAGS" |

Truly convinced that a decision must be made with her life, she painfully takes “ONE LAST LOOK”, to either go forward to a promising future clouded by uncertainty, or return to the pain of the past that offered only tears and shattered dreams.

Painting "One Last Look" was humbling and an act of redemption for me. It made me acknowledge my own misguided views of women and the hidden cultivated stigmas placed by society that systematically limit their pursuit for self-fulfillment. Herein, you see those stigmas busy at work on a young lady gripped in conflict by her desire to grow and the emotional fear of failure. I hoped to have captured that brief moment where she desperately comes to term with taught limitations and the growing urge to reach her full potential. I truly hope this work of art will be a help to you as it has been for me in serving a cause much higher than my own.

Art is an act of expressing feelings, thoughts, and observations. The oldest documented forms of art are visual arts. My work itself is rooted in expressing emotions, goals, and ideas taken from the realm of everyday living. A conscious effort is made with my limited ability to communicate that individual experience, not only for myself, but for others as well. Artists have even contributed to expanding human evolution from many different perspectives. They have been crucial from the very beginning of our existence, from prehistoric cave paintings to modern day scientific drawings.
