Embarking on this incredible journey, I’ve had the privilege to create diverse marketing campaigns and testimonial videos that people have appreciated. Along the way, I’ve also found my passion for art, which has brought me immense joy and a sense of purpose. Sharing my art allows me to connect with others on a deep level, and I’m truly grateful for the impact it has beyond my own fulfillment.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
Starting out in event promotions and later transitioning to corporate marketing and private client services, my journey as a marketer spans over two decades. However, my path has taken a fascinating turn as I’ve delved into the world of multimedia art. It’s through this newfound passion that I’ve discovered a whole new dimension to my career.
Becoming an artist has been an eye-opening experience, allowing me to tap even deeper into my creative instincts and push the boundaries of self-expression. While my name might be recognized in marketing circles, my heart now beats to the rhythm of artistic exploration. The journey has just begun, and I’m humbled by the opportunity to share my evolving artistry with the world.
My art style is a mix of Resin Art and Digital Art. I blend elements from the past and present, capturing them in resin to create unique pieces that tell stories from different times in history.
In my Resin Art, I combine old and new in a special way. By encasing objects in resin, I turn them into captivating pieces that make you wonder. Mixing traditional charm with modern looks, I create art that shows the spirit of different historical times.
I also enjoy Digital Art, especially “digital photo compositing.” I take different images and put them together to make new pictures that look both real and dreamy. Whether I’m putting people in new places, creating fantasy scenes, or changing up photos, I love telling interesting stories through my art.
What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?
“The Why”
I firmly believe that time is our most valuable asset, recognizing that our existence on Earth is fleeting and every moment contributes to shaping our lives. I understand that waiting for a so-called “defining moment” is futile, as all moments have the power to define us. With this perspective, I wholeheartedly dedicate my time to pursuing love, happiness, and leaving a lasting impact on the world through acts of kindness.
Driven by my unwavering desire to uplift others, I actively support various causes throughout the year, generously donating my resources. One notable example of my philanthropic endeavors is the authorship of a children’s book titled “WB and The 10 Good Things.” For years, I have distributed this book free of charge to schools and homeless shelters, aiming to foster positive values and inspire young children and individuals across the globe.
Through my art, innovative thinking, and unwavering commitment to community-driven philanthropy, I have garnered endorsements from esteemed educational institutions, major newspapers, and reputable organizations. With my unwavering dedication to leaving a legacy of positive actions and notable achievements, I believe I can be a catalyst for change.
What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?
The most rewarding aspect of being an artist or creative is the ability to express my inner thoughts, emotions, and perspectives in a way that resonates with others. Creating something from scratch and seeing it come to life is incredibly fulfilling. It’s also deeply gratifying when my work touches people on a personal level, evokes emotions, or inspires them in some way. The freedom to explore new ideas, push boundaries, and continuously evolve as an artist brings a sense of joy and purpose that is truly unparalleled.
