Young Appetence

As a young artist, my palette and mind are constantly changing and readjusting. I think my subjects are simple; possibly multi-layered, but nothing overwhelming to confuse a viewer, only provoking them. Generally, I pass through a concentration or focus of work where I dwell on one subject matter or one style of art making, and attempt to create a compilation of 3-5 pieces. At a particular point, my mind and brush move on as I become bored with an idea relatively quickly and look to experiment with new ideas. Yet the process of the art making always works the same. I start with a source of inspiration, whether it be an old artist, old photographs, or nature as I perceive it. Then I determine the best possible method to realize the idea, via materials, size, etc. From that point, I begin to work and open my mind, and more often than not, I end up with something a little or a lot different than what I initially imagined. But most of all, I try hard not to allow my own artistic stubbornness to dictate the image. To learn more about the artist and view more work, please visit

A created work must move the beholder: pathos therein must be palpable and transport the viewer to a definite emotional experience. It must also teach, tell a story, for this I suggest George de Latour who gave us exquisite moments of truth. It must entertain. Form is important. It need not be realistic, for this latter I suggest Henri Rousseau. Colours must never be bland, monochromatic, for this I suggest Kandinsky, and certainly, Monet's Poplars.
