I have gotten requests to post some of my artwork on here, so until then I have artwork posted on Deviant Art if anyone is interested:

I love finding new ways to create and new ways to express myself. I paint and draw as well as dance, act, and write. I love the arts and I especially love when they are brought together in collaboration. I like to search for new ways to see and execute these art forms as well as look for ways that have been lost in my culture. I like to dig deep down to the subconscious, emotional, and instinctual when it comes to what I create and I try to show work to others that will open their minds and guide them to ask questions. I don't usually concentrate on a distinct topic or message when I create a work of art (in whatever field) but I leave myself open to ideas and I find that this way, nothing is superficial and forces but instead I learn new things through the process. And when I present my work to others while still not knowing exactly “what it means” I learn even more from them through their questions and insights. I want to help others to think and explore their worlds this way because I think it is something a lot of people need and they don't get from the standardized schooling, workforce, and society in general.

If I could just do what I want to do without all of the struggle I am going to have to go through, I would jump right into the heart of my ideals and dreams. I would love to create a studio where people could come to learn new forms of art. I would incorporate visual arts, dance, theater, and writing into projects and events that would bring the participants together and teach them about opening their minds to new things. I would provide opportunities for people to come and create artwork not for the purpose of achieving a final product but as a way to use an experience to express themselves, find themselves, lose themselves, or whatever it is that they need at that time. I would hold dance events where people could learn to just move their body in response to the music without structure or standards but just the natural physical response that will allow them to break free from the everyday routine of sitting, standing, walking, running, and lying down. This studio would be open to all ages because I feel like there is an unnecessary boundary dividing all age groups and it makes us lose that connection we need to have with others who may have experienced more or less than we have. Trying new things would help everyone gain new perspectives, and doing this together would help them share their own experiences with others.
