"Creating art is what I do best and it is my purpose in this life I’ve been given to be an artist. Daily I strive to bring my thoughts to life visually.
I believe that I can do anything I set my mind to. I will open an art studio, which will also be a gallery that creative’s and art patrons can come to in order to be inspired.
My life's journey is to spark hope in the hopeless. To inspire those who feel that they have no purpose or have been rejected the possibility of making their dreams a reality.
My most important future contribution to others will be the belief to never give up. We have faced many obstacles before in our lives and overcame them. I was created to be an artist and I want to spark a change in the world through art. I create drawings everyday and work on art projects weekly.
Truly, I cannot imagine doing something else other than being an artist for the rest of my life."
