Artist Statement
**I am a strong believer in the idea that everyone has a creative side to them, if only they choose to harness it. I have been creative since I could hold a pencil. I haven’t really had a mentor who I looked up to for art, but I did have other influences and specific people in my life that have affected me, my way of thinking, and my art. I’ve always stayed true to myself when it comes to art; I have never let others dictate how I drew. I am a very detailed person and my emotions can be found in my art and possess a strong sense of who I am. A lot of my art is in pen/ink and pencil. The majority of my art is dark, deep in emotion. I also enjoy the fantasy kind of genre because I feel I can completely be imaginative. There are no guidelines because it’s whatever you want it to be. I let my emotions take me and my imagination rule the page. **

Freedom

This is another controversial piece that I did and I am very pleased with the way it turned out. The angel is surrounded by the dragon to show protection, and the dove that the angel is letting fly represents freedom. I tend to draw many of my angels without a face. I do this because angels are not human, and have no specific identity. This leaves the viewer with the chance to picture what the face may look.
