As an artist, I am inspired by everything around me. I am
fascinated by the hidden color and textures that can be found in light and
shadow. A primary goal of my art is to bring awareness to the wonderful world
that surrounds us. I try to capture this vision in my paintings so others can
see the beauty as I see it.
Art is an expression of one’s inner self. To
me, painting is my medium to share my artistic thoughts to the
world, a way to express my feelings.
As with all artists, my style is constantly evolving.
Creating art is very, very important to me.
It gives me the opportunity to explore my creativity. I feel
that creativity keeps my life from being boring and it gives
meaning to everything around me.
Painting is also a stress reliever. As I
shift into non-verbal thoughts, I lose track of time. I focus on
creating and at times that’s all that seems to matter. If I
don’t paint for a while, I feel that something is missing. It’s
almost like an addiction and I need to paint to survive.
Why do I
paint?
There are probably many reasons to paint, sculpt, create art,
play an instrument, sing etc.
Personally I paint for many reasons, but the main reason is
because it makes me feel good. Art is a form of nourishment for
the soul, an inner necessity.
I have this need to satisfy my inner spirit because it brings me
happiness, relieves stress and boosts my energy.
There is this part of my personality that pushes me to paint,
because it gives me pleasure, lifting my spirit and to
continually increase my creative juices.
When I’m painting, I have a tendency to get lost in my painting,
zoning out, and losing all track of time, to the point of
forgetting to eat or going to bed.
I try to paint as much as possible, when too much time passes
between paintings, I have this feeling that I’m missing
something. It’s like an addiction, a need to paint (create art)
to feel satisfied.
