<PERSON>, VA Acrylic Paint Member since May 2019 Website Concepts and Content are my strengths, and I believe these elements lead me to work that is always evolving. My ability to see narratives in other's works, and articulate them verbally, as well as in writing, drives me to always apply a conscious meaning to my work. I am interested in work that commands attention and evokes opinions and emotions. The challenge is having enough courage to push as hard in your own work as you want to see in others. What always allows me to push through any hesitations to begin work are the accumulating experiences of calm once I get started, and the triumph I feel when I know I have put all the energy that I could into a piece. These journeys are what I believe are the essence of art. Once you have felt the passion and struggled to realize an idea you can better appreciate the emotions of other artists, and fully immerse yourself in the viewer and the viewed relationship.
