There is so much I can say about my artwork, but to fully grasp my artwork you need to have an understanding of me.

As a boy or girl of an addict, I lived all more than New England—it was an eventful childhood to say the least. I grew up in the foster care program, so my creativeness grew to become my ideal friend. Carrying out artwork is where by is where I found out my skills. You could say that artwork has been my sanctuary. Most of my parts depict girls they not only represent me, but they also depict the decline of my mother.
