"The Nonsense Man" Painting

I grew up creating all sorts of crafts with my grandmother on the weekends who was a preschool teacher, and she inspired me. I found peace and freedom in being able to express myself creatively. My first creative loves were singing and writing poetry but soon I discovered that I loved to decorate as well. I loved the idea of being able to customize things and make my vision come to life. I started expressing myself through interior design and before I knew it, I was painting and designing my room. Through my journey of teaching, I realized I would submerse myself in creative opportunities such as classroom decor, bulletin board contest, themed door-decorating contest, the design of my power point presentations and even art projects for the students. Which led me to create and paint an entire solar system in my classroom. During the height of the pandemic in 2020, I found myself drawn to painting more. At first, it was just something relaxing to do to pass the time and express on a canvas what I couldn't express in words. I continued to challenge myself with every canvas. I started by experimenting with different color combinations, shapes and styles. Every idea that came to mind, I put it on a canvas and before I knew it, I built up the confidence to share my work with friends and family. I have reached a point now where I would like to share it with the world.
