Visual Art – Chicago

The last 4 1/2 years of art making have been the most fulfilling experience I have had. A stark contrast to my artistic experience prior. My problem was a lack of inspiration and being my own worst critic. Since that time I have learned to let an artwork be what it will without forcing anything. I've learned to treat each piece as its own moment and a new experiment as I continue to push myself and my comfort zones. I currently practice drawing, oil and acrylic painting, photography and creative writing. With each medium, I work in a different style, so there is never a dull moment. I live on the south side of Chicago, with a hope to see more of the world and capture all of the moments and feelings with my artwork.
