There are several different mediums that I enjoy using when creating my art work. I enjoy using graphite pencils for my portrait drawings. Another medium that I enjoy using is pen and ink for my creative drawings. I also paint, this is where I tend to blend different painting styles together, I use my paintings to communicate a statement of energy by using vibrant colors within my paintings to attract the viewer. The aesthesis on how I create my personal artwork is from an emotional state of mind. I find myself creating my best work when there is something I can connect to emotionally. The direction of my work is to tell my life story through my artwork by recognizing special people I either know or have known by creating portraits and a biographical statement on who they are and what role they have played into my success.
