Art. Now, if you think about it, what does "art" mean? Why is it called "art"? Those questions are as hard to answer as it is hard to explain how water tastes. Art is art. To certain people art may just be colors on a page. To me, art is real. It lets out emotions. With out emotion in art, it's just a scribble without meaning. It's just there taking up space. I started out an amateur, like everyone else. My 2nd grade art teacher saw the potential and gave me compliments all the time, and with that, I started being obsessed with art, looking at it, and making it myself. I am never truly satisfied with a piece of art that I have completed. In my eyes, I believe that there is always something that you can add to it to make it speak louder, or that can enhance it. I believe that every piece of art is a "work in progress". It will only stop changing when the artist dies.
I have not declared what is my favorite medium, and that is because I don't have one. It all depends on the mood that I'm in, and what the vision in my mind wants to become, whether it be 3-D or 2-D, that is up to the idea in my mind. I do enjoy working off of pictures, and creating it in another way to add to it. There is no real rhyme or reason to what I create, I just create it. I am more of a realist. I enjoy art that looks like something, something that you could see in real life, on a postcard, or off a picture. I have always been a stickler for "staying inside the lines". When you look at my work, most are "cookie cut", however, there are a few that are mostly abstract, loose, and out there. I do try to let myself go sometimes to work on things other than my realist ideas.
I am currently working on a mix of things. I have a few pieces of furniture to paint. I like to make the furniture into either animals or flowers. Not just a small picture of an animal or flower, I like engulfing the whole piece in one section of the animal or flower. I find my inspiration for flowers from Georgia O'Keeffe. And the inspiration for the animals from my own pets.
