# About me
I’ve never been to good with words which is one of the reasons I love to make art. It allows me to express all the ideas I have floating about my head that I’m unable to say. I find this act of creation to be sublime, even with my darker pieces, and I’m always looking for new ways to improve my technique so as to better convey these ideas.I prefer painting with inks. I find inks fluid enough to give me the effects that I want. I apply the ink using a dropper or a syringe and then blow air through a straw to get the patterns that emerge. I believe that by focusing on my subject while doing this, I get the patterns I need to best convey the message behind the painting.
I have long held the belief that the meaning behind an artistic piece is ambiguous. There is the meaning it holds for the artist and there is the meaning it holds for the observer. It is because of this that I am usually hesitant to explain the meaning behind my work. I fear that doing so would prevent the observer from seeing it for themselves.
