Art is a universal language. No matter the dialect it communicates emotions felt, whether visual physical and or auditory. Art is my voice.

As a Visual Artist , Poet, Spoken word Artist and all around Craftsman; I find that I enjoy creating abstract art using mixed medias. So many details, emotions, colors, textures, layers, angles so many point of views and or a lack there of, can be captured in one work of art. With every observation there is more to be noticed more to question more to debate, it’s challenges the viewer to use all senses to think deeper to expand ones point of view.
Where do you find inspiration?Inspiration finds me. Hits me upside my head constantly trying to get my attention as if I didn’t notice its beauty already. Beauty captured in moments of joys, love, heartbreak, both peace and war. I find it in strangers and loved ones as I people watch. I find it in the leave as they sway in the wind or a in a child’s smile. I aim to live life as if it’s a sun dance film…w the most moving sound track. Inspiration is all around me.
What would you do with $25,000?25k would be life changing not so much on a material level but it can buy some peace of mind. I’d take a few months off from my 9-5 pay up some bills and dive into my craft, creating around the clock. The ability to dedicate more than an hour a day would create the momentum needed to produce the works and many collections that live in my head and number of sketch pads. I’d invest in supplies, marketing and travel putting myself in new spaces amongst faces reaching my arts deserving audience.
