Artist Statement:
Statement on Art
I am what some call a natural
artist. I can't even remember
when I started, but in some
way shape or form I was always
creating. My parents weren't
too thrilled when I found out
that crayons looked "cool" on
the long hallway of my
childhood home. That's when my
mom had the idea of using
butcher paper for me to draw
on our hardwood floors!
My personal understanding of
“being an artist” means
observing life and habitat
around oneself, then
interpeting that through your
own personal experience or
emotions. There is always an
idea or concept aroused or
inspired by an experience or
other creative work I often
start with a general concept
but no plan really, after a
work is started it usually
takes a life of its own.
Concepts and ideas may take
weeks to form in jotted down
notes & sketches or sometimes
a sudden burst of inspiration.
The actual work can take just
a few hours as in paintings,
or days as with the details of
a pen & ink/representational
illustration.
Once working & inspired it
feels as if my hands are being
guided, or if I am moved to
another ...
