About
I am a designer/artist because of the freedom to be an individual, the freedom to be myself. My work is a reflection of life's ups and downs. The bright colors are for the good days and the darks point out the sad times in life. Brighter colors will always out weight the darker, heavier colors. I rather focus on the happier times in life. Only using the sad, darker days to remind me that life is a balancing act, much like my artwork.
