I am an artist. I think of the world as a canvas to paint with my life. I want to capture the beauty around me whether it is good or bad. For life is a beautiful adventure full of happiness and misfortune always giving opportunity for one to grow and I want to capture that growth; whether it is in words, moments captured through the camera, or on a pad of paper. Life is a thought; a feeling put to action. We would all be better off closing our eyes and bringing out what really lies within.
