Why I am an Artist





I have cerebral palsy, my career are more limited. Being an artist have more benefits then most people think.   Art bring me happiness and a feeling of success. I know art help me with my mental well being. I felt awesome to reach a point in  my career that I can have a sola  show. I over come a lot in my  life. I  have challenges doing art because of my fine motor control;  by using chalk pastels I  can create nice pieces. I never can paint Wrigley Field. I did a  piece title The Boys Fall. I adapt my art to fit my imagination.  I am proud that I can have a successful career.  My sola show I was  honor to show and talk about my art work with people
