ABOUT THE ART
Art to communicate my concerns
I use art to reach my subconscious as well as to express my deepest emotions and communicate with others. Art is a powerful cultural tool and a solace to the soul. In the past, I surrendered to discover what would be created through me. Over the years, my work has grown from abstract drawings to paintings and mixed media paper collage. I also love photography. At this point, I am exploring several styles including purism, orphism, pointillism, precisionism and surrealism. I am inspired by memories that evoke the most tender moments in our lives. Whereas in the past my subjects were depicted as caricatures, I am interested in exploring other options. My reasons for creating art are to better understand my place in the world. It provides me with an avenue to address the bigger problems and to find my voice on issues that matter. My reasons for creating art are to connect with my higher self and to communicate with others. My goals are to expand my métier and to make my voice more expressive, bold and witness to my being Alive!
