| Why Did You Become An Artist |
art found me...i become totally lost when i draw, and i like that...really like that...art can never be conquered...only sought after...i like that, too...when i draw-it's like i am taking a new and always incredible journey into self awareness and conscience abyss...and there is no beginning and there is no end...so you just submit to the journey and wherever it wants to take you...and you go...and you face the mountains...and you climb them-no matter how high...one stroke at a time... |

| Your Personal Biography |
I received my bachelor's degree in Public Administration (thought I wanted to be a lawyer/politician), my masters in Education (thought I wanted that too) but God chose for me to be an artist, and although I have had absolutely NO formal training in any of the arts,(that is why so many of the questions on this page are empty!)yet, I am an artist! Go figure...
The Lord began putting my art skills together in 1996, when I first sketched a picture of my boys while at work...I thought about the best I could do is to draw a stick man-and not a very good one at that...and that is the truth...but on that day, I just began to draw...and I kept on drawing...soon, I painted and just kept on painting whenever I could. I live in a place where 'art' is practically non-existent, and unknown, so most assuredly I am and have been alone in the process of my metamorphosis.
Mostly, as the years began to pass, I stayed very busy being a wife, mom, public school teacher, and completing my formal education by obtaining my Master's Degree in Teaching. My 'whenever I could' became almost never...and I mean for two years...I literally spent zero time with my art, which meant zero time with myself...I felt as if I had lost all of my'real' dreams and all control of who I was and what I was to become...I was loosing control of my life and ...as I became more and more conformed to this world, the more robotic I became...
As my boys were reaching their final years in our home...my spirit became restless...I found myself drawing more and more...and delving further and futher into the 'art' of the 'art', so I did not renew my contract...I am living for my God...and that I can not describe...
I really do not think that I will ever be able to go back to what was...as the pages of the book were turned for me...I began to realize that although I was not, and could not, write the script for my life entirely, I could have a part in the illustrations of the pages...so I illustrate! |
