My art is my escape from the trials of reality and life. Art is my addiction; with every stroke of a colored pencil I am able to release stress and confusion. I have been drawing, as an old art teacher would say, since I could hold a pencil. I experiment with various kinds of art media; however, the media I enjoy most is colored pencils. I have recently begun to experiment in scratch board, something that I am beginning to enjoy very much! Many of my pieces are heavily influenced by Anime, or Japanese style animation. I am inspired and infatuated with the Japanese culture and it tends to show through my pieces. I try to express my love of Japan along with my respect and love of my own culture through the drawings I create. The fact that my family and friends give me the support and in some cases, challenge that I need to succeed, pushes me forward and motivates me to never give up on anything, especially not my dream of becoming a well renowned artist. |
