I love everything about art. I love what it does for the soul. It completes me. I love what it does for people. If you look around you, art is EVERYWHERE. Whether it be on a canvas, a piece of paper, a frame, a computer, a couch, a home...its everywhere. My favorite medium to use is pen and ink. I enjoy challenging and pushing myself to draw/paint/produce art work consisting of new subjects. I mostly work with paper, canvas and furniture. That can always change though. I am most familiar with creating works of art that consist of flowers, butterflies and trees. I really enjoy subjects that lend towards nature. I really enjoy mixed media. This can involve any sort of medium. I have experience in working with acrylic paint, oil paint, paint markers, India ink, colored pencil, pastels and miscellaneous objects. Art is what drives me and keeps me going in life. I live to create!
