Joaquin Mares is from Denver, Colorado. "I've been creating art for as long as I can remember. Most of what I know about art I learned by just doing what felt intuitively right. I "attempt" art because I am hopelessly curious about the outcome. Sometimes art happens, sometimes it doesn't. If my art sell, I will use the money to help my family pay bills. I also plan to contribute to the cause by donating some of my art to DU PAI." "Look at the world around you . It may seem like an immovable, implacable place. it is not. With the slightest push - in just the right place, it can be tipped." - Malcom Gladwell
