The Official Ish

My work for those of you looking for it ...is sold directly (& only from me) online or in person and can be found on my facebook fan page mofee123.pdx along with (WIP) work in progress pics

I don't make copies or prints ..only originals. I need the work I put out into the world to come from my hands, to hold in them my tears, my frustrations my joys, my love. By not relying on what I did yesterday it requires me to be new today.

That ..."About Me" ...part... I'm an artist ...for the MOment ...living with cancer ... as an artist I've always wondered ... what my favorite artists thought... what influenced them ...and so ......instead of letting someone else tell their version of MY story after I am gone... I'm showing you now... making sure I am a living example of "walk like you talk".

Typically...I'm lil more then expected ....and maybe understood lol ..how you perceive all that...good or bad......is ...well ...relative to YOUR view of the room. I don't have control over all that...all I can do is be the best "ME" I can be ..for me.

Art… is not a hobby, it's not what I "do" …it’s what I AM. I HAVE to paint, draw, create ...like you have to breathe. ~Mo2004
