Full Time Human Being: My Creed

On September 15, 2011 By

My creed — Why I am an artist — why I am a Full Time Human Being: “I am an orig­i­nal. There is no other like me. I cre­ate to under­stand my world and my place in it. I cre­ate to pray, to curse, to sort, to num­ber, to struc­ture, to destruc­ture, to bleed, to pre­serve, to rec­og­nize, to see, to hide, to show, to tell, to think, to stop think­ing, to detest, to love, to act, to be still, to laugh, to cry, to detest but mostly to love for now I am human, but in a few short years, I will be some­thing else.”

It’s very dif­fi­cult if not impos­si­ble to cap­ture the real jewel-like qual­ity in a oil paint­ing on linen with a cam­era. The many glazes in this work all weave together to give an amaz­ing opti­cal effect in per­son, so I urge you to visit Ele­va­tion Gallery to view the work.…before it’s gone!
