| Introduction | I am an artist, and for 20 years I was also a VP at Glory Foods. The company was sold and now I following my passion of art, full time. I LUV art, both creating and experiencing it. I put my money where my mouth is and took a leap of faith; after all, I call my art "Blind Faith Fine Art"; walking by faith not by sight. I felt it was time to not just say it, but live it! I prayed over it and now I am doing it. UH oh, that sounds like the beginning of a new poem, which is another blessing, about 2 years ago I discovered a latent talent for poetry. Now I have coupled many of my paintings with poems, offering a richer dimension to the painting. Sometimes the painting comes first and sometimes the poem comes first. Sometimes inspiration comes in a dream. Whichever, I love my creativity. My late dear mother was creative and I just found out that my dad also showed signs of talent when he was younger but he never pursued it. Well, artistry must have skipped a generation and has now come exploding out of my very soul. I live for it! My goal for my work is to offer a message of hope, faith and self acceptance. I try to infuse each painting and poem with positive energy. |
