My art is inspired by my life and passion. Growing up in an abusive home, life for me as a child was very rough. I suffered for 20 years. In the darkest days I dreamed and hoped for some who cared to rescue me from my suffering. This rescue never came. I dicovered art as a tool to be my voice when I could not speak out agenst the pain. I soon realised this behavor was not just in my home but many home where I lived. In my neighbors and all my relatives homes. I saw and heard of the neighbors animals abused far worse than me. We found comfort and a connection in each othere. We have both been abused. The neighbors envied the love me and their pets shared. They could not understand why every pet regardless of species liked me so much. They kept them away from me hoping there pet would forget and like them better. No matter how long it took, as soon as the pet got loose it ran back over to me. You can trap, hurt and threaten but not force to love. I got older and I began putting a stop to behavor like this by speaking out and reporting any cruelty I seen or heard. Animals never are able to speak up and I do not want animals to suffer like this. I am driven by my passion to save wild life and stop cruelty to all animals. I hope that I can grab the attention of the people to view my art. I want to spread my love and passion for animals to them. I want enlighten everyone of the importance of these creatures we love and creatures we fear. In hope that the beauty of these animals in my art will make everyone want to save and help them. I need them to paint and they need us to help them survive.
