Artist Quotes:
“I am a natural born artist filled with images, movements, rhythms, words and messages.”
"I love the arts because it is healing, inspirational and a spiritual connection to the divine supreme being within. There is nothing that art cannot fix for the spirit."
Artist Statement
Art is an important expression of life that documents the thoughts, experiences, and traditions of an individual. Art is the power to create a specific piece using various materials hightened by tone, volume, depth, and definition. Art is the tool for healing the mind, body and spirit. Art is the colors that glow upon the eyes of both the artist and the viewer. Art is the beauty of the human eye.
The artist frequently is engaged in a dual relationship: one with the materials used for creation; the other with the perceived audience. Allowing the audience to gather its own perspective and to find its own story.
I believe it is truly a blessing to be an artist.
For Art comes natural to me.

Thanks for the welcome. I'm preparing to update my profile and get to know everyone.
To answer your question about inspiration; I'm inspired first by art it's self and then by the work of many artist known and unknown. Wouldn't it be great for all of us to be in a room to kick that whole subject around......
peace
