"I want to start my own art school someday and help students discover that there is something out there for people who have an interest in visual expression. I want to expose them to the world of art from an early age. You see the the painting of the woman singing? Sometimes you're holding in so much that you just have to let it out; you can see that need in her face. I want students to learn, as I did, how to express their emotions through art."
