Initially working intuitively, I embrace colorful underpainting and add handmade collage papers. I start with a loose thought (floral, landscape, color, pattern, shapes) and then move through the work driven by an internal desire to free myself from laboring, allowing myself to get lost completely in the process. After stepping back and observing the initial stages of free painting, I begin to see something. This is where I refine and define, focusing on composition, variety, value, focus, and feeling. I will add other mediums to the experiment- Cold wax, Oil paint, and Pastels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eWe are all creative, and through art, we can learn to overcome the fear of comparison, the unknown, and the harsh expectations we impose on ourselves. It is the best therapy I have found to center myself and find inner peace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eMy work is meant for the viewer to experience and contemplate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eABOUT:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eA Bachelor of Fine Arts from the College of Creative Studies in Detroit.
