Through my art, I’m just trying to capture what I’m feeling in the moment—putting emotions down on canvas in a way that feels real to me. Every piece is a mix of whatever’s going on inside: feelings, thoughts, colors, and movement, all coming together in abstract form.

It’s not just about how it looks—my hope is that people can really feel something when they see it. I want the viewer to connect with the work, to feel a spark of recognition, like, “Yeah, I’ve felt that too.”

In the end, my abstract pieces are all about emotion—how deep, messy, and beautiful it can be. They’re a reminder that even in all the chaos, there’s something meaningful and human that we all share.

I sell my work mostly on-line at www.artfinder.com/stressart and accept commissions as well.

The above pulls in each of the parents within the artist-discipline taxonomy , which is good, if I want to display them alone without their children.

I need to probably display these like this:

Dance: Ballroom, General, Hip Hop, Jazz.

Design: General, Graphic

Will need to figure out how to return the sub categories (artist-discipline) for each parent individually and then loop through all parents assigned to the CPT (artist) being viewed.

In this section I was able to successfully pull all sub categories that belongs to the 2 parents selected. This could be good if I was trying to show all possible choices under that parent, but what I really need is to pull just the selected ones back.
