When anyone asks for an artist's statement from me, I want to say "I think it's Fort Knox," but some unfortunately do not share my childish sense of humor so...
My art represents my life and the day to day hardships and celebrations of growing up, and now, living back in my hometown in the coal mining community of Jeremiah in south eastern Kentucky.
I think of myself as an Outsider and Artaholic who replaced my addiction with being a workaholic for the past 15 years.
I moved back to my home town and my creativity in 2006 and have once again given in to my strong desire to create my art.
I am the child that paints outside the lines! What distinguishes me from other artists is my exploration of all (Mixed Media) mediums, incorporating them into my design concepts which are personalized into sometimes humorous, childlike visuals of brilliant purple skies, mystic realms, personal spiritual beliefs and a forgotten object that's found in the most peculiar of places.
PLEASE Click the "Contact the Artist" tab and send me an email to let me know who you are and that you have visited my site!
Feedback from everyone (Good OR Bad) is always appreciated!!!
Blanche DuBois: "I don't want realism.
I want magic! Yes, yes, magic.
I try to give that to people.
I do misrepresent things. I don't tell truths.
I tell what ought to be truth."
