Apparently I'm A Night Owl....

~~I want to be an artist because my creative side dominates all other aspects of my life and personality, and it is something I enjoy embracing instead of trying to fight. For the longest time I was so focused on my assumption that I had to study something in college that would give me immediate earning power and status in the world, but never had I been more wrong. I truly believe that you will only succeed and excel at something that you have the capability to be interested and invested fully into, and thus, I am not going to become an engineer, a lawyer, or anything of the sort. I have always assessed the world more artistically and creatively than the more left-brained people in my life and can't wait to continue to pursue my calling. I find my work to be a tremendous outlet for my curiosities, fears, desires, and general lines of thought and I don't know what I would do without it. My most recent through expressions have been on the darker side, exploring modes of death and afterlife.

***One of my favorite artists is Duane Michaels, I am absolutely in love with this series:









"Things Are Queer" by Duane Michaels
He has influenced my work in so many ways and has inspired my own creation of a few progressive series.
