Making art is something that I love. It's always been a constant in my life, and it always will be there. I feel that it's not only a record of my life, but it has become an extention of my very being. I have always been shy by nature, and in the past I've had a hard time expressing myself with the ease which most everybody else seemed to be born with. But I don't have to tell people how I view the world, because my artwork does it for me. It is my way to connect with people, and with myself. At this stage of my life, my work is very experimental, as I begin to build up more knowledge of how materials act, so that I may know how to use them in the future.  I am beginning to understand that there are many ways to accomplish any task, and I like that I can look back and see my progression. There is always a a small thrill that comes from finally making sense out of a bunch of chaos.
