Meet The Artist
Starting Out
I can’t remember a time in my life when I wasn’t drawing and imagining how magically form and color worked together as a form of expression. I’ve been expressing myself by sketching and translating my imaginings and concepts into art that I could share with others. Drawing and painting have been an enjoyable constant in my life.
Inspiration
The body of work by the artist Rembrandt is a source of inspiration and direction. His work spoke to me - his style, his attention to detail and the fact that he is one of the greatest draftsman the world has ever seen. To this day after a lifetime of study, I am still inspired by his work.
Continuing Education
As I delved deeper into painting I realized I would need to expand on what came naturally to me. I studied to learn the correct method for mixing color and creating a composition. Through extensive research and college level instruction I continue to develop and hone my skills. I realize the only way to perfect my craft is to do the work.
I am selective in choosing what I have to say and how I want to say it through my art. My art reflects subjects that matter to me including the political landscape and what’s happening in our country. I am a Black man in America and am not immune to all the experiences that entails. My work illustrates those experiences. I hope my audience is elevated and inspired by my work.
