___________________________________________________________________________ “The steps necessary to knowing thyself starts with meditation. Meditation allowed me to experience parts of myself that I had trouble expressing. I was blessed with the ability to express myself through art. I never attended an art school or any programs; I chose to instead teach myself based on my instincts to paint one of a kind acrylic art on canvas. Every day I grow as an artist and I enjoy discovering new techniques that challenge my awareness and creativity. In the last six years I manifested Embot Gallery. Since then, each year my art has reached a new plateau. I decided to expand my art onto different kinds of materials such as vases, bottles, hand bags and sneakers. One of the most rewarding moments for me was when I was a vendor at Union Square and 14th street. I was super excited to meet people who were easily influenced by my art. I received great responses in relation to my work and that motivated me with a desire to further expand my art. As the years passed, I continued to showcase my work around New York City and at popular locations such as Times Square, Noho Flea Market/Soho, West 4th street and Union Square.” Page 28
