Artist, Writer, Dreamer... 12/07/10

Becoming absorbed into the writings of my various fiction stories, as well as creating pencil drawings and acrylic paintings, is a great passion of mine. A couple years ago I completed several pieces of artwork on U2's singer Bono.

I am a spiritually inclined, poetic dreamer who has an endless thirst for the beauty in our world, and a passionate drive to portray emotions and images into tangible mediums of art. If you are interested in having a commissioned piece of artwork done, please email your request or visit Nature Heart Studio's Blog .

  I believe that all humankind deserves freedom from oppression, discrimination, or torture. I believe that everyone has the right to life, and as such am pro-choice - the woman's life should not be overshadowed by the unborn. I believe that we each carry the duty to vote if we want to continue holding political opinions. I believe that something as simple as a smile can positively impact someone's day. I believe that we are blessed to have pets in our lives. I believe in God. I believe that my calling in life is to be an artist both visually and as written word. I believe in Love.

  
  "It's a beautiful day, the sky falls
  And you feel like it's a beautiful day
  Don't let it get away." ~U2
