One thing I have learned in life is that you can never stop learning about the world we live in. It is full of inspirational things that contribute to our life experiences. It is from those inspiring visuals and experiences that as an artist helps me continue to learn how to live, survive and create things for myself and others. It has contributed to how I have managed to reach the different points in my life to achieve various goals while striving to be the artist I want to be.
