I am not a fan of the title "artist." Someone very special to me taught me that art is finding beauty in something. Anything. So no matter who you are, what you do, or how much money you make... you are an artist if you can find beauty in the world. Beauty is everywhere, but you have to be awake and aware of all that surrounds you. A cloud. Church bells. A shadow. An intricate spiders web. When you look at a clock at 11:11. A beautifully prepared meal. A touching letter. A car built from scratch. Tire swings. Or even your grandma's wrinkled old hands.
The first step is merely taking the time to notice. I live my life by finding beauty in the trivial and spreading my light to others through my art.

Love and Light,
