| I depend on my art to explain my life. I spend most of my time working alone in my apartment. I feel like my art has a purpose and that it is meant to make people smile. It does make me feel good about myself that I have been able to begin unraveling my artistic potential at such an early age. I have found a way to express myself by putting time; energy and feelings into these things that in return make me feel better about my life and it’s ups and downs. I began painting four months before my twentieth birthday (Jan. 2006). I really didn’t know what else to do with my life. I never considered myself an artist, not until I depended on it for purpose. In 2006 this happened, I did thirty paintings in the first four months.
After being shocked with life’s hardships I began drawing all day everyday for a couple months. Really they were just doodles, line after line, and so on. After this I colored these designs for about two months. Until late August, one of the doodles looked like an animal. A five- foot eel was made, who has gathered a lot of attention from friends and family. They all encouraged me to do more of them. It is now January of 2008, and I have done about one hundred of them. I call them the Living Lines Collection (see gallery) I paint or draw daily. I am currently taking watercolor, color design and yoga at a community college. I am twenty-one and still new to the art world, but I have put a lot of time and energy into creating these works of art that define my life. I am now willing to share them with you, mostly because I am running out of space on my walls. Thanks for checking out the site! |
