Unlocking Creative Potential
Art to me creativity is basically everything using creativity and art in your basic living, math, cooking, basically anything and everything we do is a part of our life art is a way of for me evoking a Feeling whether it's sad or happy or angry or mystical so whatever I'm feeling at that moment it's a way of expressing that.
00:00:44 I do 3D sculpting with with mosaic something a little different I love both mosaics and sculpting so I just kind of put them together usually it's something I'm inspired by I love the ocean so oftentimes the fantasy for me is the mermaids or I love the nature of the ocean too I'm a diver so I love being underwater and manta rays and Stingrays and dolphins and sharks all of that stuff I just love creating it recreating what I see actually I didn't learn it.
00:01:18 Just kind of started doing mosaics and then I started sculpting and then I just kind of put it together it was all something I just did on my own when I start a piece I have in my mind what I'm gonna do so basically I have a start in my mind I kind of have it all all the way completed every single time about 30 into my project it starts to take on a life of its own and it starts to tell me what it wants I know this sounds crazy but artists will understand that the art...
Make Imagination Come Alive
00:01:51 ...dictates what it wants and I just follow I my hands are just an instrument for the art for me to create what it wants and it often comes out quite different than I started off with the warrior Queen will actually be up for sale on the website I do commission pieces as well as installations on-site installations but I also do pieces that are for sale ready and now and you know like the warrior Queen I see her like in a beautiful restaurant a seafood restaurant by the ocean over some mantle and somebody may see that and be looking to do some art in their restaurant or hotel or Lobby or Resort and say that is exactly the piece I've been looking for.
