So I've finally given in and created a blog for all of the stuff I come up with. I sat here, probably for the past half hour trying to think of how to begin. Where do I start? What do I talk about? How about I tell you what I believe the definition of art is?
To me, art is a way of telling a story, displaying emotion, or simply any way of expressing something words cannot.
Visual expression is the most important form of communication. Having relied on it all my life in everyday communication, I have always taken into account someone's body language much more than what comes out of their mouth.
Growing up, art was always a big part of my life. Drawing and creating things were part of everyday play, and it was always encouraged in my family. My grandmother was very creative, always sewing and knitting and creating crafts. My mother teaches art, drama and music to elementary students. Both of these women greatly influenced me.
Through elementary and high school, my main interest was drawing. I rarely picked up a paint brush, and rather detested the idea of painting until I was older. Now, I paint almost everyday and hope one day to make a profession out of it. Now my focus is on painting, ink drawings and photography.

| "Blue Night" (early 2011) |
Most of my paintings consist of bright skies with silhouettes of trees in the foregrounds. I am fascinated with the idea of the branches of trees forking out to create more branches. Follows the idea of, "one thing leads to another." One decision can lead to something new, different and exciting.
As of right now....
I am working hard at coming up with a series of paintings to submit to galleries around my city. They follow along with the theme of trees I have taken a liking to. I hope everyone enjoys looking at them as much as I have creating them.
That's all for tonight! Thanks for reading!
