To me, art is...

Art is another way to communicate. You can tell what type of person an artist is through their artwork. Art is another way to share your emotions. In some cases you can understand what an artist is going through by how much pressure was used on there brush. So much goes on in our live. We forget to enjoy the beauty in the simplest things. Art allows me to catch my breath. Art distracts me from stress. Art is a doorway between reality and dreams. Art is a universal language we all can understand

I’m interested in art because...

I own an interior exterior paint company. And I’m really good at it. I pay attention to the details. My best friend, Clifford Badowski ask me if I could paint on canvas. I told him that I wasn’t sure if I could. So he should be a Kutinsky painting And I told him I would see if I could copy it. When I was done with the peace Cliffs jaw dropped with amazement. He couldn’t believe how similar the painting looked. I haven’t been able to stop painting after that. And now I’m able to breathe.

Art is powerful because...

To me, art is powerful because you can say so much through art. If I was a mute, I would be able to communicate through my art. And it doesn’t matter what language you speak. Art is a universal language. Whether I’m happy or sad or in love. My art translates for people to understand.

An art experience I loved...

I had the honor to experience the van Gogh exhibit in LA. Usually, I like to do mixed media art as well as abstract. And after seeing the van Gogh exhibit, I understood that art is not just on canvas or paper. It comes in many forms. Whether it’s digitally or verbally, art is an expression of oneself and can be expressed in so many different ways. I fell in love with Art even more after seeing the van Gogh exhibit.

A world without art is...

A world without art , is a world without hopes and dreams and ideas. I am blessed to be able to experience a world like ours. I can’t imagine, living in the world without art.
