As an artist I always like to capture real world events and personal experiences through the canvas. By doing abstract work it gives me the ability to paint these events with my personality. I believe that painting gives an artist freedom to express themselves with a wide range of opportunities. 

When onlookers gaze into my art I want them to feel the emotion told through the bristles of the brush. So, when viewing my artwork spectators should feel a mixture of sentiments. Love, sadness, and happiness are all traits painted on the pieces I worked on for the exhibition. There are many little details drawn into place that help express these ideas. My art is all about being put into a certain period of time and feeling the moment.
