Biography | |
September 13. 1979. A good year to be born in Philadelphia, and an even better year to move to Piedmont, South Carolina.
In the war of nature v. nurture.. The environment called my attention to the cow fields. Besides all the tasty meat one could eat, pasturelands are a rich source of mushrooms. I was always fascinated with them. The educational system left me with plenty of time to pick, examine and play with mushrooms. We were friends, and not the sort that only picked me for kickball, no sir, those mushrooms did whatever I said.
Penguins have nothing to do with S.C. (it's too hot). But they are the sort of animal I know we can all relate to. To me the penguin is patient and long-suffering. My penguins get to look into the mushroom forests. In my landscapes they see what I saw in the South-- possibility.
Mush-guins are the imagination we all still have. Furthermore, a sign to the true democratic freedoms in which those here choose to participate.
While I earned my Bachelors degree in Psychology in 2002, I am a self-taught artist, and began painting several years ago. I established Studio 808 in early 2007. Here in Orlando, I have shown works in the Zulu Exclusive at the City Arts Factory, and also at Metro Gallery. I sell my works via Ebay and other online sites, along with out of Studio 808.
Each piece is custom built in my shop. I build frames and stretch my own canvas for a gallery look and feel. I also sell custom frames to student and professional artists alike.
All the best... enjoy. |
