Visual Art – Philadelphia

I am a Philadelphia native that has always been mesmerized by art. I do not possess an art degree and I do not have any art history background to speak of...but does that stop me from creating? Absolutely not! Why should it? Art is my fingerprint. It is MINE...but it is also yours. Art transcends all. It is a powerful tool that allows for the artist as well as the viewer to both find themselves, and also lose themselves at the same time. It has the power to change thoughts, change feelings...and it is completely unique in every way. I constantly find myself overwhelmed with inspiration. It is all around me. In the amazing city of Philadelphia. In the music I listen to. In the people I talk to. In other artists' works who constantly inspire and provoke me to constantly push my own limits and boundaries. The list is LITERALLY endless, because inspiration can come from anywhere, as long as you have your eyes and mind open to it If you are reading this...I hope to leave you with one thought: Open your mind and let go of anything that might be holding you back from exploring your own creativity. Because it is just that...YOURS! Show it to the world, because nobody else has that same fingerprint.
