The world is not going in a positive direction… people are getting away from their roots… from nature… from instinct… from the simple happiness that is only possible through simple living. I am on a journey to live a simple life, to breathe fresh air, to know my neighbor, to find spirituality and to spread the message through my art and writing.
Instead of painting from my head, I strive to paint from my heart… instead of looking for the bad in the world, I intend to look for the good in the world… instead of irony and sarcasm, I hope to inspire through simplicity and honesty.
My subject matter is my life… the people I meet, the places I go, and the lessons I learn. I draw and paint in a direct way, with bold strokes and vivid color.
