Dreaming No. 2 Painting

 I don't intend for my work to portray a specific subject, but to strive to bring out those personal challenges, struggles, and triumphs one faces throughout life's journey. While attached to my exterior interpersonal relationships, I had remained detached from my inner feelings, so I needed to find a way to express them. It is imperative for me to share the innate, raw emotion of life's experience with others so that I can help become a benefactor to the changing world. When I start working I need to first "˜tap in' to that feeling and become engulfed within it before I can release it. Music is the portal through which I lose touch with that exterior self, and allow for those inner emotions to take over and become the piece. I use different forms of media to convey those emotions: interpreting them within the different textures, lines, colors or patterns. My work now is aligned in mostly abstractionism and loose abstract figurative, which are conducive to expressing my inner stories in a way that is not confined to a societal expectation or limitation. I also have done many other styles covering expressionism, pointillism, lyrical abstractionism, and surrealism. Although I may not always be working in the same style, there still is that passionate desire to express myself through creativity.
