Item Special Note
On June 5, 1969, not only did my mother give birth to me, she gave birth to a gift that was placed on the inside of me. The gift of Art was created.
At the age of 5, I began rearranging my "Paint by Numbers" paint sets. It was also a very important task for me to stay within the lines of my "Winnie the Pooh" coloring book. The act of creating would light up my soul.
I remember throughout elementary school, sitting at my desk waiting for my teacher to place the manila sheet of paper in front of me. It would be just like a new toy. I just couldn't wait to get my hands on it, and I could play with it all day long and never get tired.
Being in art throughout high school helped me to have a way of escape to express myself on paper; not realizing this form of expression was turning into a therapeutic session for me.
Not having any formal training, my own style has been developed. The moment I sit on the floor and grab my paints, I pull my canvas close to me. Through creating each particular piece, I find myself having to look at in in al different directions. I feel a sense of having to convey what's on the inside of me to the canvas; I realize I must feel each piece and once I'm finished a relationship has been established and I have completed what I set out to do. I not only want my paintings to be beautiful but I want them to be able to set the atmosphere where ever it's place to hang. Faith, joy, color and soul are most of the themse found in each painting, which is what I believe are the medicines of life.
