Art is for Everyone

You don’t have to be able to draw a straight line in order to do or appreciate art. The first element is to observe to world around you. Try to see it with the same wonder and freshness of a child. Never let go of that and ask lots of questions.


Many so-called “primitive” cultures drew strength from the natural world. Leonardo da Vinci was an excellent artist, engineer, and scientist because he studied the action of water, the growth of plants, and the workings of the human body.


My preferred art materials and methods come from the environment. I like to recycle materials and use objects around me to create sculptures and paintings. Whatever it takes to achieve a project is good.
