Welcome to my blog, sharing new ideas and thoughts!
I am very happy to introduce you to my blog! I hope to share with you through this blog my journey and evolution as an emerging artist and amateur photographer. In the late autumn of 2022, I moved with my partner into a historic neighborhood and 1950s home in downtown Las Vegas. We picked bright colors for the walls and doors and added lively furniture. I painted with bold colors, my natural palette, and taking travel photos when we go on trips. I choose Las Vegas as my backdrop or theme for many of my photographs.
I have heard for so many years that it takes talent in order to start any art. Well if I had listened to this statement, I do not think that I would have started to paint, write poetry or take photos. The main thing I had was a desire to learn, to express myself and my enthusiasm.
I did not study formally any particular art but I had imagination and an urge for creativity.

So here I am! Transitioning to a new career.
As I explore different subjects such as painting, poetry, photography, art and life in general, I would like to share with you what I learn. I love to read, explore, experiment. I will share also with you books that I find interesting and that I am reading. I also hope that my struggles and victories as a human being can be a source of inspiration to you.
I will share these too!
The first blogs will need work but with time, I am convinced that they will be perfected.
Thank you for visiting me.
