I paint because I have to. I paint because there is this deep burning desire to express myself when words fail me. I paint to escape. I paint because I can. I am deeply attached to my art. Each piece is unique, for years I have been hoarding them all, only showing them to a few select people, keeping them close to me. Which is ironic, because I am a curator and art director by trade - I sell and promote other artists for a living.
When you buy a painting from me, you’re not just buying the art, you’re buying a piece of me. You’re buying my pain, you’re buying my sorrow, my happiness, my anger. You’re buying whatever it is I feel in the moment that pushes me to create. Sometimes my inspiration comes from the funniest things. And other times it comes from the darkest saddest places. Painting is my therapy.
It’s my way out. And there is no way out, but in.

“I paint my own reality. The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head with out any other consideration.” Frida Kahlo
