“Dry All My Tears”. My parents were drug addicts so I’m sure that living with that has influenced the emotion that is conveyed in my artwork. When I initially found art it was during a very hard time for me. I would drift off into la la land and paint these people that didn’t exist. Since I started making art, I’ve always approached it in a very poetic way. I consider each painting to be a poem. I’m definitely not a novelist. Art saved my life.
