"Passion is what drives me, it is the fuel for my art. Music fuels part of my passion.

It is the music that moves my soul and fills my canvases. It is through the art that I find my freedom of expression. Art is a form of therapy to me, I feel so lucky to be able to express those feelings that typically end up bottled in, and put them on canvas, paper, wood, etc..."

They all fall under one category...humor!

I always knew that I wanted to be an artist when I grew up, but I almost chose a different path in life. Thankfully, I made a choice and decided to dedicate my life to becoming an artist. I took Ownership of that decision and even through painful opposition, I followed my heart.
