Abstract
My experience and discovers that were reached, as a Masters of Art student at California State University, Sacramento, helped me to understand where my artist origin began, and now what they are evolving into. I have found out in this chapter of my life is that my paintings and I are spiritual warriors. I became a spiritual warrior when I embarked on my journey as an artist. The spiritual warrior uses creativity as a weapon. Creativity is the sword that digs deep within the soul, like a brush about to attack a canvas. This realization will help me formulate my next creative discovery that will further fuel my paintings and development as an artist in our contemporary society.
