Artist Statement:
Born in Memphis, Tennessee, I
spent most of my younger years
living in Arkansas. There, I
began writing poetry and
painting at a very young age
using art as a means of
expressing my emotions –
happy, sad, forlorn, and
joyous. Today, the art is
becoming an oasis from my
life’s strain. Everyone has
daily stress to overcome such
as work and the daily grind.
Painting and, just recently,
prayer has become my oasis. I
have gone through many
self-discoveries through
painting and quiet time with
God through this last year and
a half.
I have found to not have fear
or hold back while painting
and to not have fear or hold
back in daily life.
(“Therefore do not worry about
tomorrow, for tomorrow will
worry about itself. Each day
has enough trouble of its
own.” Matthew 6:34) I have
found I enjoy painting flowers
the most for relaxation. I
admire O’Keefe’s work. Her
large flowers are a message to
the viewers, and like O’Keefe,
I hope for the viewer to take
moments in their lives to look
at things we normally pass by
without a second glance.
There is so much to see ...
