About the artist
Member since the very beginning
Art has always been my greatest passion. My art is my place to escape... to dream... to dance... to shout� and the only place where it is impossible for me to make a mistake. There is no greater freedom.
I am a self-taught artist and enjoy working in pencil, watercolor, acrylic and mixed media. My techniques are not perfect as they are primarily learned via trial and error. My greatest inspiration comes from people. I look for that fleeting moment when the ordinary becomes extraordinary. I know in that moment that I have to capture that look or that gesture and illustrate the effect it had on me. I find a certain beauty in awkwardness, vulnerability and things most people find unattractive. The biggest change in my art came when I realized that my creations and my techniques do not have to be perfect. I strive to encourage others, with and without disabilities, to find their passion in life and lose the fears that keep them from accomplishing their dreams. Your dreams belong to you. You cannot make a mistake.
