As an artist, I enjoy the ability to create something out of nothing. The texture, color, and appearance of a shape or forms on a canvas or blank surface give a sense of accomplishment and a feeling that I have created something out of nothing or work that has never been done before in the sense that even if is a copy of something else the lines, strokes will never be a carbon copy. Through the years, I have grown as an artist and have opened my mind to trying different media and seeing art with different eyes. Growing as an artist and being able to see my work as more than just basic paintings or drawings is a challenge and goal I am working towards fully accomplishing.
