"The world of reality has its limits: the world of imagination is boundless." Rousseau
All things are brilliant in shape, form and color. I learn as I go along how much more there is for me. This is exciting and fuels my personality. My creativity is a way for me to express myself and my world. I am an artist and I observe my perceptions and record them.
I sit in front of the empty canvas. I randomly pick paints to use. I have no use for thought. It is in these moments that I escape. I escape to my imagination, to a place where I am free. Before I am consciously aware of what's taking place I have begun to create images. Visual images-images from my imagination. The colors find me, the lines find themselves. I am the medium; the canvas and paint are the tools. When the shapes start to make sense I begin to see, it is in these moments that I feel whole. Suddenly I have built an idea, (.) (I) interpret it as you will.
This is what I do; this is what I love. Is a part of my soul, it is a part of me. "We are One." Creativity is something I explore with my senses. The senses arouse my feeling; feelings unleash emotion-emotion of the senses. I don't need to categorize it-there is no structure to it. It lives in an abstract reality.
