Why My Artistic Path Began
I began this creative journey because art has always been the way I connect with the world around me. From the open skies of Colorado to the quiet charm of rustic barns and lively street scenes, I found myself drawn to the stories hidden in everyday places. Art became my way of honoring those moments, capturing their beauty before they slipped away. Over time, my love for the outdoors, music, and visual storytelling grew into something deeper. I wanted to share not just what I saw, but what I felt. That longing led me into digital art, where imagination and reality can blend into something magical. Creating Paintography and digital paintings allowed me to express emotion, color, and movement in a new and inspiring way. I started because art calls to me. I continue because it lets me share pieces of my heart with others.
MEANING OF RAWAS
RAWAS stands for Reflection, Art, Wonder, Appreciation, and Soul. These five elements define my creative journey and the spirit behind everything I share through my art. Reflection reminds me that every artwork begins with emotion and thought. Art is a mirror of life, capturing moments, feelings, and memories that words often cannot express. Art itself is the foundation. It is the language I use to connect with people, tell stories, and bring imagination to life. Wonder represents curiosity, the endless search for beauty and meaning in every corner of existence. It is what keeps creativity alive and ever changing. Appreciation is about valuing not only the art itself but also the emotions it stirs, the stories it tells, and the people it connects. Soul is the heart of it all. True art comes from the soul; it is raw, honest, and deeply human. Every piece I create or curate carries a part of my spirit and the passion that drives me to keep creating. RAWAS is more than a name. It is a philosophy and a belief that art has the power to heal, inspire, and remind us of the beauty within ourselves and the world around us.
