Hello everyone! Last week, I debuted my  NEW YouTube art series called, "Story Time With..." This inspirational series will take a look at some of the art I made in the past. In each video, I will tell how I created them and their meaning. These personal stories are filled with faith, love, hope, joy and just life.  Around 2010, I began teaching myself to draw and eventually that lead me to art journaling and painting. It was a surprising interest for me and I have loved every minute of it. You can see some of my art in these virtual art shows  HERE . My first guest for "Story Time With..." was Elle Monae. She was my first canvas painting and I am so proud of her. This art combines all of my artistic passions of drawing, art journal techniques and painting.
