I view life from the perspective of a cube. Many sides. I love creating and expressing myself. Painting for me is necessity. It's a common ground for those many sides. A safe place for conflict. I started drawing at a young age. A good Art Teacher in 7th grade said "Wow you can draw!" I devoured the attention and moved on with that seed planted. I hate to say " I'm self-taught" because I have learned a great deal from others. I took a figure painting class at Ringling last year, I enjoyed it. However there's a rawness in my work that's appealing. I can tell you a bit the way a painting starts. It begins with an emotion that leads to vision. That vision haunts me, until I slap it on canvas. It's just like that. What's hard is when I'm feeling allot of emotions at once. Visions breaking in the head some, just lie dead. I go into a painting frenzy. It's been told that I "blend many styles". Yes, I guess thats true. Here comes my cube theory, more than one side.I love painting with my painting knives. It's empowering. I feel like Zorro. I slash away. It frees me to have fun. It's like recess.I hope others will enjoy my paintings. But more over, to consider the place it puts them while viewing. Not all consider or are made aware of how the sense of things change while viewing art. I could flip backwards in some galleries. To many voices at once. I'm sure that sounds as insane as I antend it to.
I believe we all have some gift we can contribute. In some form, a task for this earth that has nothing to do with money.I love meeting people that embrace their gift and to walk beside others who haven't realized the trail of pearls they leave behind. Or broken chairs, which are hard blessings.I write poetry or the inspiration behind all my work. However I hope the viewer will establish first the place it puts them.I love potent art. I don't think it should make apologies. Hearts should repent, not art. Even the sweet words of the Messiah offend some.
