artist statement

I create art because I have to. I really have no choice in the matter. I cant even escape art when I close my eyes. My dreams are always hyper vivid. However, for some reason I feel like I'm cheating if i use my images from my dreams. It can be a very hard lifestyle, but it has its rewards. I think? well I have heard that, ha. My paintings tend to very on mood. I guess I have many moods. Im a visual artist, let the images do the speaking, then ask me questions.
