Everyone has a way of expressing themselves, and dancing is mine. I have been dancing for 19 years, through ups and downs, and I have found that it is the reason I was born. This performing art allows you to find and express yourself just like creating two-dimensional artwork.  Moving to the rhythm is like painting with a paintbrush, energy flowing from the body to make a piece of art. Taking these two expressive worlds, which I hold close to my heart, together and creating a story is what I live for.

 

     The series of my recent work expresses the beauty that dancers work hard for and the passion they strive for.  Sometimes the audience or viewer only sees the performance, the painting, or the final product but not the hard work or the dedication behind it.  As I’m still finding myself as an artist, each piece I create is parallel to the themes of change that have happened to me, or what I have seen in the dance world. I plan to continue using my inspiration as a reflection in my work to see where it progresses. I love the idea of having power in my hand to create a piece of art that can show the viewer another part of the world that many people could get lost in.
