Hello, Dale. Unfortunately, there are several problems with your editing.
 * 1) The content you have posted here is a direct copy of content on a page on another web site, making it a copyright infringement. (That other web site says "© 2014 Art of Dale Mathis. All Rights Reserved".) You may be the copyright owner, we cannot assume that, as people often create Wikipedia accounts and claim to be someone that they aren't. I could give you links to instructions on how to license content for publication on Wikipedia, but doing so would not actually be helpful to you, as it would encourage you to waste your time doing something which would be pointless, as the content would be deleted again fro other reasons, as I am about to explain.
 * 2) The content you posted was unambiguously promotional, telling the world what a wonderful artist you are. Wikipedia policy is that Wikipedia is not a medium for promotion of anyone or anything, and any page which appears to exist largely for promotion may be deleted at any time, without warning.
 * 3) You should not be creating an article about yourself, as you have a conflict of interest in doing so, and are unlikely to write from an independent perspective.

You are, of course, very welcome indeed to contribute to the encyclopaedia if you wish to, as anyone is, but if your only purpose is to publicise yourself and your work, then Wikipedia is not the right place to do it.
