I am a self-taught artist, but I'll always consider
myself a lifetime student of art. I hope to never deceive myself in thinking
I've reached a pinnacle or ultimate goal in my work. If I ever tell myself that
I have finally become all that I can be as an artist, I will deny myself a
future full of possibilities.
To me, the essence of being an artist is not about the easy path to a completed
piece. It is about discovery and working from a place of uncertainty. Artwork
should be malleable and ready for inspiration and change, especially when it is
unexpected. From the first pencil stroke up until the last one, the final
outcome remains unclear. It seems that with each and every moment of work, I'm
taking slow steps forward and faulting steps backward, and never at a pace
faster than the art requires. My art is pure. There is no computer
manipulation, no projected composition, and no photographic copy underneath. One
line at a time - just pure, hand-drawn art. The rest is from my heart and soul.
I'm a visual messenger. I'll begin the
thought, but you'll have to complete the story.
