Statement:

I am 22 years old, been painting my whole life. I work with liquid watercolors. I paint what I feel, what tends to come out, though its mainly sadness which is maybe why I'm not a very sad person. Luckily I can let it out. I do a lot of the sky and just very surreal images. It keeps the realness of life away but at the same time lets out my angers and sadness.  My heart is in every one. I have written and illustrated a childrens book that I'm in the process of trying to get published also. I also make earrings out of a polymer clay, I call ear sculptures. very unique and light and look amazing with anything. Sold very well in Woodstock area.

Background:

My father raised my brothers and I on painting and drawing. I never took spereate classes on how to paint.
