As an artist, I work very hard in each of the art pieces that speak to me and my audience. Courageous is a Mixed Media art piece created by multiple artistic tools such as pastels, acrylic paint, sand, fabric paper and mirrors. I believe that this medium of expression has the power to influence individuals and communities by expressing a deeper message. This art piece is inspired and created by my own personal experiences as I have overcome a variety of obstacles and many fears in my own life.
