Visual Art – Dallas - Fort Worth

I’ve been engrossed in creative endeavors during most of my life. I could draw before I could speak. As a child, I preferred to make my own toys out of junk rather than buying new ones. However, I never believed I could pursue fine art professionally. While completing my Bachelors in Accounting and studying for the LSAT exam, I was distressed and repelled by the path I was taking. I decided to meditate over my anxieties. The answer to every question was affirmative. The word “Paint.” was repeated more loudly each time I heard it. I had little success with that medium, but the message was clear and seemingly divine. I acted on it. I built a large canvas and spent an entire year on one painting. During the process, I learned to paint and listen to my muses. Upon completion, I received several commissions. I have since developed my style and made the decision to embrace the unknown, in pursuit of living an enriched, creative life, perhaps as an artist.
