What inspired you to become an artist, and how did you decide to commit to this path?

Finding joy in the challenges of life is what drives my creative energy.


Could you share the story or concept behind your recent work?

Escaping from the reality of my own life and while seeking peace was where it started. My painting is about color, life and raw feelings. My intent to provide a positive emotional source for people who view my work. I embrace a live in the moment and dive right in mentality.
