To be an
artist is exciting and painful at the same time. Exploring the
inner self and stretching as an artist can be painful. But when you
"get it together", and put it on paper, board, canvas, or whatever, and
someone understands it and likes it;
that's the exciting part.
I love
exploring life through the eyes of an artist. I am an eclectic artist.
I use almost all of the media, and let my imagination run wild.
I also
like getting new artists excited enough to explore.
