The moment we cultivate creativity; our response time to form a thought and put it
into action is .25 of a second. Our delayed response is a form of evolution. To live in
a moment is a false statement; however, the lag of response is what allows our body
and mind to make reason of thoughts. This portfolio is an attempt to capture and
document my actions of a period of time, it is a documentation of my thoughts
through a variety of mediums.
My mind comes and goes through various states, constantly changing, moving,
floating, descending, ascending, contemplating, and deliberating. When I recognize
or feel an onset of these movements my initial response is acceptance followed by
physical documentation. Most often I am not near a canvas and therefore my
thoughts become physical words on a piece of paper which then become translated
into images. So most often my work must pass through various levels before com-
pleted and thus is susceptible to manipulation during each stage. Each stage be-
comes its own work of art. There is no single point of view but an insight into the
many perspectives of the mind.
An important role in my art work is looking at that moment and the acknowledg-
ing my place within an environment. It is my interaction between the environment
which cultivates or confines my creativity.

very interesting for several reasons, but mainly because I want to pro-
vide a positive environment in my classroom. I believe that we are very ex-
pressive beings and forget that hand gestures and facial expressions is a sepa-
rate language. We have the ability to communicate with others without ver-
bally speaking. If we take the idea that our motor reflexes are stimulated by
simply seeing an image such as a Pollock painting, and that we are able to
create a sense of connection by observing actions, then I believe that we can
learn empathy through art. When an individual makes marks on a piece using
any type of medium, whether its paint, graphite, clay, those are uniquely
theirs marks. No other person creates those marks besides the person who
creates it. Even when we recreate a Van Gogh painting, the marks we paint
are not Van Gogh marks they are own individual brush strokes. I believe in
the idea that the energy we put into a piece of work can be felt by the person
observing it; therefore each piece of work is uniquely different.
