a statement

As an artist, I believe it is important to have meaning in the art that I make. Also, in still not knowing all that I enjoy in art, it is important for me to explore. Much of the art I make has no meaning beyond me testing different media. I do not expect to achieve much in my art, but more so, I expect to view the art I’ve made as a reference to what I was thinking at a certain point in time, and then use that to better my art making in the future. Also, I want to be a teacher and use what I’ve learned to share with others. In wanting to be a teacher I want to show people what can be done with art. I don’t believe that you can teach art. I believe that techniques in making works can be taught, but art is something that comes from us and is one thing that no two people will ever do the same. In being an artist I know that I can express more in one piece of art than I could in a book. In being an artist, I believe I can show people art, and not just “art.”
