Ever since my earliest childhood I felt there could be no other existence from me and it has always been my dream and my goal to be able to be some small part of the art world. Art has been my life and my truest passion since I was old enough to draw or to paint or create in any fashion.
For me the visual arts are not as superficial as a 'pretty picture' although at times that aspect too can be breathtaking. Art, in its many forms, is the visual representation of the unseen or the imposable, offering endless possibilities, not only to illustrate a story or provide an outlet for personal abstract ideas and emotions but also to bring the intangible into existence. Through art the infinite worlds of dreams and imagination become real, images of the world and interpretations of events may be preserved so that they may exist long after that fleeting moment has since vanished as well as to bring forth the smallest details of the nature which so often go over looked to offer dazzling new facets for those who have not before had the luxury notice them. The subjects and ideas along with the mediums through which they are portrayed are as vast and diverse as the collective human race. Though among its many incarnations art is not always a thing of beauty it is also a valuable outlet to illustrate the uglier aspects of humanity and harsh realities of the way of the world. There can be no doubt that my heart dwells in the visionary perceptions of the world and all worlds yet unseen. In my dreams and visions there always lies something deeper then the image its self, something beyond the superficial vale of colors and form offering a glimpse into another realm or perhaps simply somewhere deeper within myself that even I am unable to venture.
The main inspirations for my work come mainly from the world of dreams, from the ancient Celtic beliefs, and of the energies of nature and of night. I have always been aware of and rather predisposed to the nocturnal world and the darker elements of life and of nature and as odd as it may sound, I have always taken a strange comfort in these aspects as well as a fascination in the bizarre and obscure.
My career could be considered to have officially begun at the age of twelve when I was hired to design a logo for a dance studio. From there I entered art exhibits and competitions and for many years I participated in the annual science fiction, fantasy and Anime conventions in Atlanta, Georgia including Dragon*Con, Sci-fi Summer, and Anime Weekend, as well as being the featured artist at The Coffee Shop of Horrors for three consecutive months along with being part of an invitation-only charity event featuring visual and performing arts presented by Celestial Studios, inc.. I have also worked on many personal commissions and projects including creature concept designs and other logo and character designs.
Working with layer upon layer, adding and removing layers of color here and there and always blending, buffing and burnishing the layers together or away, to me my drawings and paintings are more so two-dimensional sculptures.
My medium of choice is Prismacolor colored pencils but I also work in soft pastels, art markers, charcoal, and graphite, as well as with inks both by brush and with the use of technical pens and any combination of these. I have also dabbled in sculpting, painting, jewelery making and beading, chain mail design and construction, and mask making, writing, and designing and sewing clothing, costumes and corsetry.
