Why I am an Artist...
When I first restarted my artistic expedition, I was a rule follower. I felt that if the rules of art were to be broken then all would fall apart. I suppose this was much like my life outside of the artistic world. As I've matured as an artist my imagination has grown stronger. My knowledge of the process has become heightened. I began looking at my creations completely backwards, breaking all the rules. What could I achieve in one of my pieces? I had so many “what ifs.” I started thinking completely outside of the box. I began photographing without a camera. I started making art from my soul. I choose the unknown route. I want to achieve new colors and interesting textures. I love the unexpected. I love the adventure. My love for nature was brought out even more when using actual living objects to produce art. This new way of thinking has been my obsession and I try to include it in all of my art, whether it be digital, film, paper, plant, wire, light or fiber. My style has developed, it continues to help me grow as a whole. I use this art form to get away from the world as we see it. My Art is my escape. I hope it helps you escape too!
I am currently teaching Art at Creative Learning Academy in Pensacola Florida. Teaching young minds to be creative and to have a love creating as much as I do!
Thankful to those who have helped along the way. You will always be so special to me.
