Artist statement

Life is created by Art

With life comes dreams the moonlite feels right The Desire, the drive, passion and the will to grow. The hours put in, in all night painting sessions. Apart from the all, I will live out my dreams and success in this life will come to me With life comes pain A teardrop came when I heard "only the mad ones were left" Holding on to dreams of the mind Twisting and turning kneeling down on all fours Just before I hug mother earth Paint oil on the canvas from the bottom of your heart And as the sun passes in front of the moon Let go of all those long held fears and dance in the sky with the moon by your side Now you tell me is this a dream or life?            We went to the moon and brought back some bubble gum Planted it in the backyard with you just for fun Woke in the morning full of surprise A bubble gum tree had grown overnight We danced and danced full of joy A gift from the heavens for our delight            All is found making those close to you happy Live within your means. Give all your heart. Somehow help others to understand how much my brain is expanding in thought , belief and knowledge.            Eleven was when it began The pain and hurting within Still aching in the skin Feel like eleven always wins Stand up against with fists Screaming they won't win Running faster than the wind To outrun eleven All the highest times Seeing the sun, moon and stars shine Coming back down again So much more time to see the light            All of the best times More than the darkest deepest that have been climbed Held the pot of gold as the rainbow washed over and the mud away Climbing high again Just like I've always known Nothing will keep me down in despair All of the highest times Rode on their backs in flight Around the moon again One more time tonight I've been sitting here for four weeks Waiting for my mind to set me free            Life comes down to thoughts and dreams and if you work to keep your thoughts pure and you are willing to lay down your life for others you will find joy and happiness through love and the dreams you fulfill through your actions.            As I begin to dissolve everything begins to resolve Thought I'd found it then remembered more, Once I was a child then I wasn't anymore. Today passed by like many more, will I find the way everyone says they're looking for Not me, I'm on my own space and time I'm no longer a falling star Burning faster than before Yet my dreams will be fulfilled until the year 2066            I will continue to achieve my dreams I have painted my heart, my mind and my soul and all my pain and joy and happiness into all my works. Special thanks to all of you who have dreamed with me.
