Why I'm an Artist

Lately I’ve been thinking about my sometimes capricious career. In the last couple weeks I’ve been faced with some challenges that have prompted me to reflect on my career as an artist. Being an artist goes well beyond just a career. It’s a way of life. It is who I am in my most honest essential form. I didn’t choose this profession. It chose me. I saw no other alternative. I have such an overwhelming desire to communicate things I cannot put into words, a desire to inspire others and evoke a moment of peace and hope through my paintings.

I find infinite more meaning in my life by pursuing my passion and striving to inspire serenity and beauty in others. A career as an artist can be challenging with so many uncertainties, but I can’t imagine any other life.

I would like to thank all of my blog readers, twitter followers, collectors, fellow artists, friends and family for your encouragement and support of my art. Each and every one of your kind words motivates me to continue to paint and inspires me onward. I am truly grateful for all of you. Thank you!
