About Me

Welcome. Thank you for taking the time to view some of my artwork. My name is Damon McCloskey.I began my art career as an outsider artist but after numerous local exhibitions I secured myself a series of scholarships and entered the academic world.I am currently a senior studio art major specializing in fine art painting at Lycoming College; a small and private liberal arts school located in Williamsport, PA.Although I am still finishing my undergraduate degree, I have been working and exhibiting in the fine arts field for 6 years now.Through the help and support of my wonderful family, friends, and patrons I have been fortunate enough to sustain myself by working as a fine artist.My primary focus is the cultural consciousness, that individualistic lens which allows us to navigate our worlds.By making art that calls into question the status quo and by pushing myself beyond my limits I believe that I am journeying on the golden road.I invite you to ask questions and be critical.Most of the work pictured here is available for purchase and I will be adding more images of my originals regularly.Please contact me with comments, questions, or for a price quote.Enjoy.
