rt at the most basic level is a way to connect the dots by reproducing something that is trapped within your soul, your imagination, your brain or your heart. Everything around us can in fact be turned into a masterpiece of art.
It can be as simple as a tire properly placed on the wall, a soda can that is photographed just right, a few randomly placed items that have a certain sense of symbolic meaning to you, which are layered on top of one another. Or, it can be something more technically advanced-which contains the proper use of time and space, good use of color, perhaps light and shadow (or not), texture and fantastic looking and feeling materials. It takes a sense of imagination, patience, passion and most importantly, the ability to not be frightened when things don’t happen instantly. Fear in itself should always be left at the backdoor when creating anything.
The FunCTion OF Art

he function of art can contain a quality that sparks conversation, be that political, intellectual or spiritual, but it doesn’t always have to. This function can also serve as visual eye candy that brings out the best in those once empty walls. This function can spark your creative juices that fill your cup to the rim and flows over. In short, this function, should always inspire, communicate or transfer something out of you that either wasn’t there before or, needed to be brought out.
Art can take us into a world that doesn’t play by the terms boundaries and rules; it can beat to his or her own drummer; it allows the slightly nutty to exist in a world that has run amok. However; an artist is often times that lonely ship that travels alone in the night, but as the fog horn echoes out, I know in my mind, that it always appears darkest before the doves brings the dawn into my life.

AN ARTIST IS WHAT I AM, CREATING ANYTHING OUT OF NOTHING. FORMING THOUGHTS PRODUCING PLENTY, LIFE NOW HAS NEW MEANING. SCULPTING MY WAYS INTO THE WAY IT SHOULD BE. EACH MOMENT HAS NEW BEGINNING; EACH ARTISTIC INCLINATION BEGINS WHEN ONE MANIPULATES THE SHADOW INTO REALITY.
IF I GET ALL THAT I NEED, KNOWING THE NEEDING IS WHAT I DREAM; POSSIBILITIES SHAPE ANYTHING OUT OF MY BELIEVING. I GIVE SO MUCH JUST AS I TAKE OUT OF THE EARTH, MY LOVE FOR LIVING IS APPARENT IN MY SEEKING.
IN THE END WE SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE FRIENDS.
