Rapid Eye Movement (Dream State) Painting

It all started when... I began to paint on my mother's walls. That's when I realized I could imagine and bring to life, anything I wanted. Then that grew into creating a world that was safer than the world I lived in everyday. As I grew, so did my need to separate myself from the mundane and trivial things that caused me to isolate myself and find my world of comfort and solace. Understanding I couldn't hide in my imagination, I learned how to bring my imagination to reality. That's when my voice was being molded. The artist... My passion for life lives through the relationships I build with people. This same mantra is displayed through my art. When approaching the creation of my art, the process is the most fulfilling component for me. The style of my work is diverse but my first choice is mixed media. Using mixed media allows an incredible marriage between materials building one union. Within this process, I am able to leave the door open for spirituality within the piece. I allow the materials to speak to me creatively, as the chemistry between the materials maturates to a point of final execution. This is why my style is infused with the relationship I have with the subject matter, so the union can evolve right before your eyes. I truly learn more about who I am as an artist during this particular time because I am uninhibited and unrestrained. My ultimate goal is to welcome the viewer an opportunity to share in the journey.
