I love to draw, that’s how this all started. I love creating sculptures with clay and stone, but I’m a painter. My drawings became surreal painting, then the paint became abstract for a while. Now when I paint I combine the realism and abstract to create space a depth. Images appear together, but are actually floating shapes to mess with the viewers mind.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration through nature and music. When I’m nature I feel my ancestors talking to be through the wind and birds. When I listen to music I find my self wanting to play along and write my own song. The rhythm and sound helps me keep a beat and tempo with my brush. Nothing but dancing and brush strokes.
What would you do with $25,000?What I would do with a quarter gran, is help pay off my parents home. What ever is left from that I would invest in creating my own Art/Music school with my artist wife. We always want to have our own establishment to shown the young-in’s the real alternative way of creating and becoming an artist with visual and sound.
