I have always had a passion for art. No matter the medium, I have always loved creating. As humans We think, we analyze, and we build. With all of the atrocities in this world, art is something that can never be beaten out of people. The ability to see the ugliness of the world and draw inspiration from it is what makes all art forms powerful. Whether it's a simple poem, or an elaborate painting, all of it has the power to make a change. So, during these times where you may feel hopeless or lost, look to art. You will find like minded people and may be inspired by their creativity to start making things of your own. My works draw from the amount of damage humans have caused, on the earth, on the animals, and on each other. It is my belief that you don't owe anything for simply living and thriving on this planet. In a world where we have the power to make anything, make something that matters to you and what you fight for.
