Artist’s Statement – Painting was something I despised when I first picked up my first paint brush. I couldn’t control it like I could with other mediums. It has only been recent, in my ten year schooling, that I have discovered my passion in acrylics. Practice was key, and many mistakes! Now I am able to convey my visions onto the canvas and express my emotions with brush strokes. Painting has definitely given me more confidence as an artist and it is something that I finally enjoy creating!
