artist statement & favorite artist

I enjoy making art pieces. I do them based on how I'm feeling. I don't like to make sketches first because they never come out the same way, I like them to come right off of the top of my head. Art is how I express myself. I enjoy painting and drawing but, with clay you can make a lot of features and make the object 3d rather than on paper. My favorite artist is Johannes Vermeer. I enjoy his art work because they have meaning to each piece and I think he expressed himself. He was a middle class life Dutch man and created a lot of painting. My favorite is Girl with a Pearl Earring
