Artist Statement

It is not a question of what I do, but who I am…
I began painting in 2006. I just picked up a paintbrush and started painting with acrylics. I work mostly with acrylics and sometimes with watercolor. I love working with bright bold colors and lines. I generally work on only one or two paintings at a time and I choose my subjects by what delights and captures my imagination. I want my work to tell a story, but not necessarily the same story to every person. Painting is Gods gift and my desire is to use it to bring joy to others. My ultimate satisfaction comes from continually inventing and improving myself.
I am a full time Fine Arts student at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan and would like to own my own business as well teach art in my studio.
On a personal note, I am single and I enjoy painting, drawing, listening to music, gardening, camping, and spending time with my family and friends.
