{ABOUT}

"I realized that I do not create paintings because I am joyful, but I paint because I NEED joy. Life can be a little dark, gloomy, and crazy at times. I paint bright, colorful, and bold paintings because they make me happy. That's what I want to give to you. A little ray of sunshine. Something that makes you smile. "
