Artist Statement:
I believe the leaders of all
societys past or present use
the arts as a means to gauge
the society. In other words
whatever people want to see or
hear it will be materialized.
The leaders can also use art
as a way to determine what is
in the hearts and minds of the
society. I strongly believe in
art as a powerful means of
communication and should be
treated as well. Today their
are so many who are not
enlightened and ignorant of
many things and must be made
aware, or at least confronted.
That is why art must serve a
function besides just hanging
on the wall collecting dust.
In a more literal sense If it
doesnt
educate,inform,enlighten,sadden
,anger,or at least stimulate
the mind then it can't be art.
Since the dawn of mankind when
art was first drawn on cave
walls its purpose was to
inform and enlighten it was
simply the first form of media
news and will always continue
to be a powerfull form of
comunication. Some use art to
decorate a wall. I want to use
art to do what it was
originally intended to do. If
I can ...

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
It just came natural to me as a child as well as music. My parents,and school teachers saw that I was more interested in art more so than my school lessons. This frustrated my parents and teachers. I was discouraged from drawing and painting. Ive only been painting within the last few years. It feels like Ive re-discovered a long lost friend. |

| Your Personal Biography |
Vanschoiac was my name given to me at birth. I was adopted at birth in 1972 and renamed by my wonderful new parents. I was raised the only child and some would say I had everything a cild would need and maybe even a little more. I graduated high school in 1990 and went on to business colledge for a couple of years and I regreted it. I married and had a beautiful daughter named Patricia. I found myself divorced with my wife. During this time I never forgot my artistic ability entirely it was just laying dormant. On ocassion I would buy a sketch pad and show a few people what I could do and they encouraged me to produce more. Then I realized that I could do what Ive always wanted to do and should have been doing. Paint! |
