I am a Colorado Native, and I am presently an artist of the written word. My visual art practice evolved out of collaborative efforts. I feel a need for integrity as I urged others to just "relax and try it." If there truly is "no wrong way to do it" and "it's ok to call yourself an artist," I have to model these ideas. Art is a community space. It connects us. If I sell my artwork, like many others, I will buy more art supplies!
