Artist Statement:
My Artwork does not describe any one particular style, but rather my general attitude towards certain subjects or topics of our world. My Paintings convey my individuality and spontaneous thoughts and ideas. My Art has been described by others as "an embarrassment of riches in a colorful world of subconscious thinking." It is like a journey into the deepest corner of my mind which pulls out current ideas and accumulations of my past experiences, welding them together and presenting them to the world allowing the viewer to create their own conclusions and individual meanings that are all their own."

Invest In Emotion By Laura Barbosa
The Power of Art should be felt by not only our minds but also our hearts and this is what makes it emotional. Emotion in my art is how I portray my feelings onto the canvas and try to reach the soul of my audience.
My Artwork has been described as “An embarrassment of riches in a colorful world of subconscious thinking” and most of my pieces are known as conversational art pieces because they usually make the viewer experience emotion while viewing my work.
I Believe that Art is the Best investment you will ever make, where else can you purchase a piece of someone’s soul?
