THOUGHTS...

“It's all started with a dream, a vision. Trusting the energies around me, I am learning to embrace who I really am as a human an artist. Today, I feel grateful for everything that professionally has been happening to me but, I still keep my feet on the ground. I love being able to share my knowledge and I consider myself very lucky because this has become my purpose. I now let life create through me, I let it guiding me through my artistic journey. I try to live the present moment the best I can, but still moving forward.”
