Farming Life
Growing up in a community active in farming, fishing, & raising cattle, taught me many things. Such a nurturing & cyclical environment was the “school of life” for me. I have been involved in art since my childhood, but I never had formal art training because my family's financial resources were very limited.
Tree Bark Series
These are representations inspired by observing the anatomy of the composition on a tree trunk to create my personage. It makes me feel like I am carving without a chisel in my hand. I am carving with my mind by using the bark and the wood as a medium. The source of inspiration will never finish as long as new ideas, new thoughts, and new ways of looking at things keep giving a boost to the flow of creativity that no one has a monopoly on.
