Artist Statement:
Many times I have been asked
for my definition of art. I
have often struggled to come
up with something clever, but
in the end, each individual
will have his or her own
meaning of art. I believe art
affects people. Art can
inspire and influence. I
believe art is a form of
communication. Art can
encourage dialogue or leave a
viewer speechless. I believe
art can inform. Art lets the
viewer experience what the
artist sees, what the artist
does, who the artist loves,
and how the artist feels. I
believe art heals. Art can
bring calm to the tormented
and joy to the disheartened.
Solidity to a soul that may be
otherwise paper-thin and
transluscent I believe art can
change the world. When nothing
else matters, I am an artist
because I want to make
changes, too.

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
Often I think I was born with a desire to create, to paint, to photograph, to build, to assemble, and to mold. And I became an artist because I wanted to fulfill these desires. |

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Celebrated for his romantic botanicals and brooding landscapes, Pepper Pepper's images echo pure beauty. His images of people, places, and things are far from ordinary. Sometimes provocative, sometimes emotional, but always overflowing with drama, Pepper's work is shaped by his understanding of nature and human sensibilities. Some images are ethereal and others are grounded in reality, but all decipher the human condition. From his exquisite black and white photography to the ballet of colors in his abstracts, his images are identifiable yet completely imaginary. His style has matured into a synthesis of photorealism and impressionism. Images of a glowing fire inside a Romanesque church or the withered foliage of an aging prize rose are re-imagined through the kaleidoscopic layers in his work. Stone and water, petal and silk invite the viewer to explore the relationship between light and shadow, space and composition. Pepper Pepper's images are open doors that invite the viewer to pass through; a colorful and exciting journey always awaits.
