All About My Art

My grandmother introduced me to painting when I was a teenager. She worked in oil, so I work in oil. She lived in south Texas, and painted landscapes, frequently with bluebonnets. I spent a couple of weeks with her, and that kicked off my art career.

It is said that we are created in God's image. To me that means that God is a creator, and he gave me the ability to create. I must use that ability, otherwise I'd be disrespecting God. It's a small way to serve, but it's what I can do.

My paintings are completely flat. This is because the supports I use are flat, and I see no reason to argue. Also, my people have no faces. This is because the mentally ill are faceless — they are pitied, or feared, or despised, but rarely seen as people.

I hope my art can be interesting for people. If not, well, heck with you. 😀
