Art is more the product of a commitment made by ordinary people than it is the product of unique talent possessed by only a chosen few.

Over the next few days I will be sharing excerpts from my new book ‘’EMBRACE THE STRUGGLE’’ A hardbound 122-page Hardbound book priced at $25.

With my book ‘’EMBRACE THE STRUGGLE’’ I want to inspire people, with my artwork and story. Because embracing the struggle defines who you are.

From the very beginning, I had to find the path on my own, but I have never considered myself a self-taught artist; I am a self-educated artist. I have learned from the books I have read and the experiences and mistakes that I’ve made. I do not believe that we’re born with a limited amount of talent, knowledge, or ability. Talent and knowledge can expand and grow. I have never allowed my lack of talent or knowledge to stop me from doing what I believe to be meaningful.
