My goal as an artist is to continue to learn as many styles and mediums of art as I possibly can. There is no subject that I will not try to capture on canvas. I want there to be so much diversity in my style of painting that a person could look at two of my paintings side by side and not know they where created by the same artist.

My biggest goal is to one day have a gallery of my own to feature the works of people with Bipolar Disorder and other mental illness. Art is my own self prescribed therapy. It would be very rewarding to show others how to channel their inner demons onto canvas and learn how to express themselves through art. I was a very troubled teenager that had no way to vent the turmoil that tore at my soul daily. I behaved so poorly at school that a teacher suggested I quit school. I was in trouble with the law at every turn. My Mother passed away when I was 16. I was lost, left to tumble in the wind by everyone.

Looking back now, knowing that I'm Bipolar, I believe if someone would have taken an interest into finding out the root of my problems and what my interests here I would be a lot farther down my destined path as an artist. I truly believe that art can save people's hearts, their minds, social standing, and most importantly of all, give their soul a voice to cry out with joy or sorrow. Either way art is a key that opens the universe.

In closing I'll just say that my direction is forward, my aesthetic will be what I have yet to try.
