I am the artist who has many experances of life in my work. Growing up in the southeast gave me the opportunity to see small town living and growth of the area at the same time.A time of struggle, exceptment, expectations and beauty. I have always looked at the experiences of life as subjects to be studied, I would think and ask questions about life and death. There would be times when I would try to express myself on paper with drawing but drawing was not something that was taken serous so I became a good observer of people and nature.I would look at objects of nature and man made, constructing them in my mind. Living in an area where a walk across the street was a forest with a stream where we would catch crayfish,walk the paths and trails looking at nature.This was where I learned about color ,light, how plants grew ,and those great looking trees. Learning how to walk softly and being steal the birds, would fly and land very close ,giving me a good look at there colors and fathers.This is nature no man can improve upon it, but I can paint,draw,and construct how I feel.
