I knew at an early age which way my interest were headed. Being enlighten at birth, I was born with the natural ability and had self awareness of this gift at 3 yrs old. My first memories were drawing at my aunt's kitchen table, safe, perched high on a stool and having a character building experience. Then came the realization of the emotional factor of life, by smashing my finger in a car door, pain and hurt engulfed me. But, I remember thinking, would I be able to draw anymore?...lol.. That's having the passion for art all [

Then came the realization of the emotional factor of life, by smashing my finger in a car door, pain and hurt engulfed me. But, I remember thinking, would I be able to draw anymore?...lol.. That's having the passion for art all the way to your core of existence, your spirit...ha. I had it bad.... LOL
** I embrace a style that can be called a modern magical surrealism or abstract. This is art that comes from the spirit, exploring the dream universe of the soul as it matures, evolves and allows me to reflect these beautiful illusionary images for all whom wish to view them. I find my art to be a renewing, expanding, a healing process which gives me enlightened and emotional recalls which I share in these living entities of reflected colors. As I work, I am transported to a quiet place with my spirit and God's warmth manifested. Time vanishes as I work, and the marvelous works of the Master Creator emerges from me as visual gifts materializing on my board(canvas).
The technology and terminology is a factor in applying paint to achieve the look, emotion and depth, but it is nothing without the inner spirit's capabilities to capture the image for me so I might reveal or reflect it back with emotions or movement in these metallic communities of colored pigments. Sounds a lot like our community of colored pigments on this sphere we call "earth" now doesn't it....
**I sometimes wonder and say, "I hope my work imparts my love, passion, and reverent appreciation of our sphere, space and its Maker."
**The fields of experience are art (commercial, fine art and computer graphics/ animations), photography (camera, darkroom lab), printing, computer designs and upgrades, sales, business management, lab quality control for different field divisions, and Management leadership .etc..
