Visual Art – Los Angeles

I am someone you would never picture to have created what I create. Born and raised in Los Angeles I have always been surrounded by hip trendy artist that I have never felt a part of. After years fighting my natural ability to paint by never taking a class and graduating with an Urban Planning degree, I have decided to take in everything creative and push what I called my hobby into a career. A naturally happy person, my art depicts feelings of a more weathered life. What that says about me, I have yet to find out. All I know is that I am attracted to the most life experienced faces, deep wrinkles, large features and darkness. I now want to show people my art rather than hide it. I think that this constant nudge and irritating feeling I have felt my whole life with my art has turned into an Ali punch to my face for a reason. I am writing this here because with no art world experience, I feel this is a good place to start.
