The personal experiences and outside observances of a sarcastic visual artist…

I suppose when I started with visual art, I figured it would be waaay more interesting to diddle with than anything else. math, for ex., is useful, but below sea level on the interest scale. I am primarily a draughtsman (drawing), but I also paint, do digital photography and have grown very enamored of graphic design/art. A native of Connecticut, I make my home in the the South, now. I hold a BA in Studio Art from Claflin University and once worked out of a physical shop creating/selling my work. My work primarily focuses on social, emotional, spiritual subjects. The work is conceptual. I also create many portraits and logos by commission. My biggest humbling experience was receiving a thank you card from Pres. & First Lady Obama (Jan. 2010) in response to prints of a portrait I had created of him. I sent the prints to them. God is awesome! As of July 2016, I have had a solo art show (2012) and five joint art exhibits (2011, 2012, 2014, 2015 and 2016). I have prolific moments and I have slowed moments, but I still create art! To me, the arts is an invaluable institution which lets artists express many ideas (personal and social) and lets viewers of art appreciate the arts and also inspire thought through art. I consider my gift to be from God and am very glad I am able to use it. I also just want to inspire others to want to get into it, too, or at least look at art with newfound interest while getting mental exercise. Thanks!!
