|
The images selected for my galleries at Myartspace were chosen primarily based on the ability that these images have to capture and release their viewers. In so many ways you can become fully engaged in a section of the pieces leading on to newer more densely occupied areas and thrown simultaneously through the entire composition in a matter of moments. These fleeting moments grab the viewer intensely therein occupying the viewer in a macro and micro universe as you focus and un-focus throughout the piece. The leading lines and entrancing spirals cause that connection of interest that will either draw you so far into the composition or explode outward to you. Either way you are left with that feeling of intense energy that was used to create the work itself.

| BIOGRAPHY |
|
|
I was born and raised in a real down home country environment. This I believe heightened my ability to perceive distorted realities and abstract waking life to suit my need for things that were unavailable to me. Since this drive for creating my own world was accomplished, I had my creative mind exploded by a very influential artist/teacher, and have since been trying to piece this knowledge together in an intelligent manner.
I currently am a student of fine art in San Francisco California, at the Academy of Art with a focus in drawing and painting. During my free time I make art. During class I make art. In between class assignments I make art....etc
During this developmental period I am in, I have also been aiming on training my business etiquette and presenting myself in a more professional manner in hopes to gain further insight and mannerisms for opening my creations to the world around me. |
