My mother claims I drew a perfect circle when I was one year old. I have a feeling that there is a bit of an exaggeration, I mean, I'm sure I drew something close to a circle, but I'm sure it was nothing close to perfection.

My mother claims I drew a perfect circle when I was one year old. I have a feeling that there is a bit of an exaggeration, I mean, I'm sure I drew something close to a circle, but I'm sure it was nothing close to perfection. Indeed, I was always drawing ever since I could remember, and my mother knew there was something special. I lived in a time and place where it was forbidden to write with your left hand. Being a lefty, everyone from school teachers to neighborhood granny tried to fix what they considered a problem.
Sometimes things got harsh to the point where I didn't want to draw anymore. I felt my childhood was snatched out from me because of which hand I wrote. My mother, bless her heart, supported me 100% and argued with teachers to let me be. Our family moved to the states when I was nine, and ever since then, I have been free to spread my left wing. Now, I illustrate and write children's books, it's like being a kid again. I can't ask for anything more.

I use many mediums, such as watercolor, acrylics, and digital. I believe that working in a single medium is restrictive to my artistic process. Each idea manifests in its style.

I use many mediums, such as watercolor, acrylics, and digital. I believe that working in a single medium is restrictive to my artistic process. Each idea manifests in its style. Of the mediums though, I'm particularly fond of watercolor. It is not a medium that can be completely controlled and manipulated, and that is the beauty of its quality. Certain colors do things with other colors when placed down and many things happen on dry and wet surfaces that you just can't explain.

Staring at the clouds rolling past the trees and deep into the stars, I am reminded of how small we are. Clouds are inconsistent and uncertain in their shape and form, yet it offers certainty and magnitude that is calming and pleasing. Life is uncertain, but it restores my hope and makes me connect to God.

Staring at the clouds rolling past the trees and deep into the stars, I am reminded of how small we are. Clouds are inconsistent and uncertain in their shape and form, yet it offers certainty and magnitude that is calming and pleasing. Life is uncertain, but it restores my hope and makes me connect to God.
As Romans 1:20 says, "For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse." The sky is His canvas and the cloud is His medium, the result is the most beautiful array of art that is new every time.
Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.
