To me, art makes me really happy about myself. It makes me feel happy to experience the different colors.

I like to draw anything that comes to my mind. Circles, triangles, ovals, hexagons, the Hulk. I like to do mountains and the Special Olympics.

I like people, it reminds me of my father. I miss him, he passed away, my mother and grandmother passed away too, so I like to draw pictures of them. I’m inspired by family members I’ve lost, and my dog who passed away, he was my best bud. I draw him all the time.

I like to have fun. I like to do new things. I just started doing paintings. I like all techniques. Oh yeah! Experiment on everything. I want to try new everything everyday like painting, making collages, drawing, sculptures, like statues. I want to make my own DVD.

I get my ideas from TV and magazines, comics, and storybooks. I want to make wonderful pictures. I want to be one of the guys on TV, like Ben Gold. I like to see my pictures come to life. I want to put my pictures on the computer and make animations and put my pictures on TV.

I’d like to make more music, like “Bombs Away, “ “Merry Christmas, “ or “Let’s Fly Away.. Come On, Come on.”

Welcome Gaby!

I’ve been doing art since I was a little but I didn’t know I was this good until I came to work here and I love my job!

I paint on windows. I like painting on the glass.

My Coral scene was my first window and I couldn’t think of anything to do with that window and I started making a design on it and it just looked like coral.

My Jerusalem painting was inspired by a trip to Israel in ’06.

My Grandma painting is inspired by Grandma. She’d been sick for a long time and during my try-out days at Arts of Life, she showed me the painting and brushes and everything, and I miss her.
