I do not truly know if I like painting. I do know it temporarily takes away the pain, and anxiety. Therefore, I paint. My work has no agenda, no political statements, no hidden meaning. My artwork is not about the final product, but rather the emotional process of getting “there”. As I have gotten older, I have realized that you cannot solely rely on people to create your happiness and sense of worth. One has to find their own outlet and I did through art, especially through the concept of imagined landscapes sourced from beauty I have witnessed in my own life or read about in one of my english based novels. Somewhere in which I could get lost and leave my pain from the past. While my artwork is completely my handy-work, it will most likely remind you of something you have seen before. To me, that is a notion that sits comfortably. I have no need to be different or to stand out in my artwork. I need to paint to survive the trials I have faced in life. If anything, I hope you find a sense of joy in my work. I hope it takes you to far away places.
