I absolutely love dancing most days. Dance like drawing is another way for me and many others to express themselves. I often have trouble verbally articulating what I have to say and those 2 art forms have blessed me with a new form of communication. The dances that I do all involve having a partner to dance with, witch comes with its fair share of unnecessary heartache and drama. All the dances I attend are social dances, however most of the time I want to speak with my body not with my words. Its hard to be in a social setting and have everyone chatting and gossiping about their lives when you feel as though you cannot. That your words will come out wrong or be misinterpreted. Sometimes I just want to scream out lets just dance. Don't speak with your lips. Speak to me in away that I can communicate back.

| She Just Wants to Dance Sketch |
When I created this mono print back in 2013 I was attending Rock Valley College. At the college I was founder and president of a social dance group. Unfortunately because of drama, rumors and misunderstandings I was removed from office. The club shortly died after. It was hard for me to watch it die but in the end it needed to happen. I ended up creating a new dance that I actually was paid for instead of doing for free. In the end it all worked out for the best.

| I Fell In Love with Dance |
This mono print I originally created for a challenge on facebook that stated:
"I promise to make a small work of art for the first ten people who comment on this post and say "YES, I want in". A 'like' alone is not enough of a commitment, nor is a comment about thinking Pay It Forward is a great idea..... I Created two dance prints for my friend Brenden to see which one I felt best fit him. I chose a different print but still think this one turned out well. It really shows the passionate side of how I feel about dance.
This is actually the print I ended up selecting for my friend and below shows us dancing at a gas station.
Connie Lim is not the typical artist I am usually drawn to, because she is so commercial. However she has such a beautiful eye and an edge to her pieces. My favorite art teacher who I mention quite a bit in my posts suggested that I could make playing cards with my art on them. I wasn't to sure about the idea but I thought I would look up artists that created playing cards. I stumbled across Connie Lim's cards and instantly fell in love. Although her art is so neat with such clean lines the imagery has a grittiness to it that I connect with. So without further adieu her are my favorite pieces of Connie Lim's:
