 In this piece I lay down drawings/words that relate to me and my past not just as an artist but as a person, layered over and crossed out as much of it becomes with the new me sitting content but also proud of where I am now and where I am going in the future. This is me with my past in the background and a more subdued but just as expressed self as ever.

LieTinThere’dArk - Everyone in there lifetime more than once will go through darkness,depression, grief but looking for the light or the hope in this darkness is very important. It’s what saves us or defines our strengths when nothing seems it will get better. Experience tells us it always does. If you can find that light and make it bright again you will only be stronger for it.

CellFixPressShun- freedom to express yourself in whichever way u choose I believe needs to be done without boundaries, without worrying what the next person might think. We are all different in so many ways that if u choose to express yourself in a way that no one understands so be it. But do it and do it as much or as often as u like.

In two pieces and read from right to left the first piece shows a fist raised representing the battle and struggles of my past. Purposely mismatched and from two different worlds but still part of this story my figure emerges in the second leaving the darkness towards a place of self expression.

  A very personal account but one that has put me on this path I stand today. A long time coming is the story of being stabbed in the back 9 times. Wars are never won in any single battle, the sword has been replaced with a paintbrush. They say a pen is mightier than the sword for me the paintbrush destroys all. The pen defeats the sword, a picture tells a thousand words but an abstract painting has an individual story for anyone that can see it. My paintbrush awards me with total victory.
