I pour my heart, soul, feelings out on canvas. I found myself many a time unable to express myself in words and in those times, the only way I could communicate was through "letting it all out" creatively.
I found, for me, art is taking that step away from fear. I hear many say they cannot draw, they cannot paint or create. I believe that is fear talking. For example the fear of drawing inaccurately or not being able to mix colours. We are too scared to put pen to paper, brush to canvas......why? Because we may be "embarrassed" if someone looked at it? Why?
At a time I had many fears. Oneday I looked at some abstract art, at the office I worked, that seemed as if someone literally threw a can of paint at the canvas. I asked myself, "surely I can do that?". I did! I went to the art shop, bought some supplies and literally went crazy! Two of my colleagues at the time were going for art lessons with a professional artist. I took the leap of faith to attend these classes and it was the best decision of my life!
I create whatever resonates with me freely and without any expectation. I do not conform to any specific style, however I favour expressionism.
