Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.”
-Edward Degas

Until I can get the professional photos taken of my paintings, I’ll share some progress photos I’ve taken during the fellowship period. Pardon my messy hair but I was hard at work!

If you don’t like someone’s story, you write your own.

Nobody can teach me who I am. You can describe parts of me, but who I am - and what I need - is something I have to find out myself.

May your beautiful soul now rest sir. Africa will NEVER forget you!!!

Hey-just wanted to say thanks for supporting my work! :)
Seems like people really love this painting, I find this funny because it sat in my studio unfinished for months. I was going to destroy it, changed my mind then ended up finishing it. Lesson learned.
