Brass
I do what I do in order to convey a message.
For me, it is a release, a way to express my
feelings, emotions, and views on issues that
are compelling to me. I love the process that
goes into each work that I do, and the feeling
of fulfillment and satisfaction I get from completing
them.
My favorite tool is my mind. I love to learn.
I enjoy doing the research that goes into each
painting just as much as I do actually painting
it. I work on wood because I feel that it compliments
my style. I choose the mediums that go into
my work based mainly on convenience. I select
my themes based on people, objects, and issues
that interest me. I try to convey those things
in a way that will cause people to discuss or
debate those subjects.
The work I am doing now is more representational
of my self than many of my previous works. I
look forward to my next painting every time
I finish one. I try to balance my work as much
as possible, yet still keep it very random in
style. My work has been called edgy, sarcastic,
and cynical. Walter Gaudnek, a professor I had,
told me “Don’t hold back…if you
think you shouldn’t do it…try it!”-
That’s what I do. .
