Iam a self tault artist. I have had some art appriciation classes, but as far as someone else teaching how to paint- I am against it. I feel that it keeps my works original. I live in texas near houston, and have always been inspired by art. My mothe would always take me to the art museum, and in school when we had field trips I was always disappointed that they were to the zoo(and not somewhere of interest). Most of my pieces are meant to take me to a time or place of happiness or enjoyment.
