NASHVILLE SALLY.... RIDE SALLY RIDE!!!!

About Me

Art is my passion but very particular on what defines art. I guess working for an ad agency the last few years makes one cynical to what is art and what is not. Finally got back into painting after a three year hiatus and haven't had to look back. It has taken me a couple of years to figure out what my style is and where I want to go with it.

Well, it looks like i am going no where for awhile. My employer decided to keep me around. So, still on the lookout for creative types around the world. Check out the art on my pics and tell me what you think.

Art is something that is as important to me than any relationship I could have with anyone. If I couldn't paint anymore I don't know what I would do. It's nice to see someone react to a new work. Weather it's a girlfriend seeing herself in a piece, a buddy knowing the true meaning of a composition or a complete stranger connecting in an unsaid way makes it all worth it.
