Splashing Moon Art

In a small town dreams are big. Evans, Colorado was my small town. Since I can remember, I’ve dreamed the big dream of becoming an artist. I dreamed of writing epic novels and making them into Golden Globe winning films. Poetry, however, was my first real love. I was first published in high school and soon after again in College. After I acquired my Bachelor’s Degree in English I picked up my life and relocated to the Pacific Northwest. When I wrote, I wrote for myself. I tucked away all those ideas, those emotions and creations, and hid them from the world. It somehow seemed safer that way. One day the words just didn’t seem to be enough. I needed more. Colors, textures, and ideas flooded my mind and I needed to get them out of me. That’s when I started painting. Having absolutely no formal training and cringe-worthy drawing skills, I just painted whatever I felt. However the paint flowed, whatever images it created I embraced them and hung for the world to see. Painting is my heart. Every canvas I have laid paint on has an emotion underneath and inside of it. My soul shows through color and paint, through endless mistakes, and the will to create. I am human and a creator of what lives in my mind. Words, ideas, and dreams.
