I see something, driving past people selling watermelons in front of an abandoned gas station or I see a bright color of a barn and I just feel the need to paint something, to express myself in colors. I actually see bright colors when I want to paint something and I know how it makes me feel.

When did you get involved with art?

I attended the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, NM and I saw alot of great artists, some who had art shows already and I wanted to paint and I kept getting laughed at, so I handcarved wood figurines and sold some at an art gathering for the school. But when I moved into my first apartment in Detroit I painted a mural on the divider wall of the kitchen and the manager liked it so much he kept it there and that made me want to continue.

What are your future goals?

To expand into other mediums.
