My first job ever I was  15. I worked at a theme park taking pictures and developing 1,000 negatives a day. I have always loved cameras as long as I can remember. My mom had a old camera with lots of lens and a rainbow thread shoulder strap. Still to this day i wish she would give it to me. I’m not even sure it would still work but it was just so beautiful.

I remember the day in college I learned I would have to take pictures of my own work. I felt really nervous mainly because I had so many amazing friends who were photographers and I didn’t see my self as one anymore. There was this theory i subscribed to that said “you are only one thing 100% at a time.” Naturally I outgrew that but it took me a while.

I have so many cameras now but my new one is my Holga.

It is a very simple camera but it makes me happy and I figure that is the point.

So much of all these bits and pieces I paint I try to feel parts of me in. The lines are my mind’s footprints. IMG_4313

I ran into some old Japanese toys I always wanted but could never have so I went out and grabbed 10lbs of clay. I’m excited and my mind is running with ways to make a statue/ figure that I can make like theirs but with my style. I figure I will if I love them ….sell them at shows.IMG_8647.JPG

I keep thinking something like this but for one of thesedaruma doll.

Plus I really want to make a bunch of toys. I have always dreamed of being a vinyl toy maker.

I have had this year where I felt like I needed to hold back but I forgot that passion makes good art no matter what it is.

So much of me is tired of not being 100%

Dreamers are the best. They see past all the shallow words and images they just feel. Painting is dreaming on a canvas.

  1. I am a painter. I always have been for as long as I can remember. My parents were always really supportive of my paint. Not always on my subject matter but completely on my passion. I remember being in high school and being told to “be a machenic so I could make money.” My mom told me “to be an artist” because I loved it so I did. I took breaks in my life but I have always comeback to it and it has done me well.

This one turned out a million times better than imagined. I feel really lucky to live in the time of paint and ink. It will one day be my legacy. To be made of dreams and hopes and heart.IMG_4291

My cat dances in the kitchen randomly as i make these videos. She gets bored in the mist of them and starts to talk so I stop randomly to check on her. It makes the creative parts wilder. IMG_8842Honey and whiskey painting

Come check my Instagram. I post everyday. Lots of art and little bits of my life.

 

So much of me is images rather then my words typed. I feel paint are more my words then how I fala.IMG_8840.PNG
