I’m an artist. People, animals, and life in general are my teachers.
Art was quite a love of mine as a child. Many times it served as an escape from my unhappiness during those years. When I graduated from high school, I was eager to put school behind me. It served as the source of my grief because I was constantly bullied there. I suppose at the time art pretty much went right out the window with the rest of it. So a couple decades passed and everything did a 180 degree turn for the better for me. I was so much happier, working, and enjoying people and life. I have been a frontline healthcare worker by trade for twenty years but still, something was missing.
One day during the pandemic lockdown I came across a picture in which the artist had made a drawing where each image was a reference to a particular song by the Beatles. Now let me just say, I am a biiiig U2 fan and right away I thought, What a cool idea! Someone needs to make one of these for U2! I thought, Well wait a second, I can draw. I was in advanced art back in school. I will do it, it will be so fun!... So i did! It was then that I realized how much I had been missing art from my adult life. At the risk of sounding a bit cliche.... the rest is history!

Life and the human experience. Animals are also my teachers.
