I'm an Artist

2024/5/23 Edited to

... Read moreHey everyone! So thrilled to finally dive into this creative space and share a piece of my world with you all. Being an artist is such a journey, full of unexpected turns and beautiful discoveries. For a long time, my art was just for me, a secret world of color and imagination. But now, it feels right to open up and invite you along! You might be wondering what kind of art you'll see here. Well, I'm absolutely in love with colorful soft pastels! There's something so magical about the way they blend, creating such vibrant hues and textures. I recently realized just how much joy I get from arranging them, seeing a rainbow spectrum come to life on paper. These aren't just art supplies; they're my creative tools for telling stories without words. My inspiration truly comes from life, just like #artfromlife suggests. Sometimes it's the quiet beauty of a sunset, other times it's the lively energy of a city street. I find myself drawn to capturing emotions and moments that resonate deeply. And honestly, not every piece has to be perfectly polished or overtly 'beautiful' in a traditional sense. There's so much beauty in the raw, the quirky, and even the slightly 'goofy' or introspective moments we experience. It's about expressing what's real. I've always believed that art is a powerful form of self-expression, and as a #blackartist, it's incredibly important for me to share my unique perspective and celebrate diverse experiences. You might see pieces that are bright and cheerful, and others that delve into more reflective or even 'darker' moods – because life isn't always sunshine, right? And that's okay! It's all part of the human experience, and art is my way of processing it. If you're an aspiring artist, or just someone who appreciates creativity, I hope my journey can inspire you. Don't be afraid to experiment with different mediums. Soft pastels, for example, might seem simple, but they offer incredible depth and versatility. Think about the colors you're drawn to, how they make you feel. What stories do you want to tell? Sometimes the most impactful art comes from letting go of expectations and just letting your hands create. Finding a community where your art is welcomed, like on Lemon8, is also a game-changer. It’s comforting to know there are others out there who understand the artist's heart. I'm excited to connect with you all, share my process, and maybe even inspire you to pick up some colorful soft pastels yourself! Let's explore the endless possibilities of art together. You never know what beautiful, or even wonderfully wacky, creations we might uncover.

I’ve recently thought to learn a little bit about cardiovascular physiology and renal physiology on a learning site called FutureLearn-the class is called Mini Medical School. It’s free for the most part unless you want to do more with the site then you can subscribe for a fee. Im not an artist

i've been working hard to make prompts that can generate amazing images. it's a hard task to explain to a computer what you want an image to look like. once you put in your first prompt, you start to realize what details you may have missed, or the way that you described something doesn'
