Expressing myself through art has always been a way for me to have a creative outlet. I have been painting, drawing, sketching, and crafting for the past 17 or so years. Art is something that I have always felt relieved stress and allow for creativity to flow through. No two pieces of are is the same. Each person can look at the same piece of art and at the end of the day have different out looks on them I enjoy looking at a blank canvas and watching my creations come to life as I add color and texture. Art is where vivid imaginations can run wild and there is no wrong answer....
