| I am an artist. I was born an artist. I have a bachelors of fine art from The Maryland Institute, College of Art. I also care about people, so I have a masters degree in Art Therapy from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and teach art to autistic children and teens. I also care about social issues. A lot of my portfolio is my unconscious stream projected onto a canvas, paper or wood, often making poignant or subtle statements about greed, corruption, social issues, and other things that seem to irritate me about the human condition. I am also fascinated with quantum physics, string theory and other scientific studies on reality, where other simultaneous dimensions and theories of such are explained in as much detail as Einstein's Theory of Relativity. Therefore, some of my work is all about fractals and how I think they might appear as wormholes that link to other dimensions and realities. As an experienced art therapist I have clinical experience in working with diverse populations over the years. This helps me to see the artist's emotional needs and their own unique expressions, and how they can direct those expressions through the use of different art mediums so that they can evolve both as an individual and as a professional artist. |
