I am a self taught artist. Painting has always been my passion as far back as I can remember. Several challenging situations in life taught me the kinds of lessons that will guide me for the rest of my days. Perhaps this is why most of my work is based on pain and suffering. I believe in the eternal pursuit of knowledge, and I enjoy learning from others. Often I make discoveries in the process of working on a piece; I cherish these precious nuggets of wisdom. I am not bound to any singular style or technique; I sometimes complete an entire painting without a brush, blending my own colors into unique hues. I believe that creativity doesn't lie in the instruments we use; rather it’s the mind that is the ultimate seed of creativity.
