Artist Statement:
The development of my art is
dictated by concept, color,
and texture. I am a self
proclaimed Urban Monk (no
religious affiliation) because
of my strict dedication to
art. I started training
academically in the arts at
six. I studied for twelve
years under the instruction of
Donna Boiman at The Central
Ohio Art Academy. After
graduating highschool I went
on to study a general fine
arts education for eight years
at Savannah College of Art and
Design where I fell in love
with the southern life style
and adapted my love of
barbecue into my own style of
mixed media art called Post
Modern Barbequeism
(pronounced- Bar-Be-Q-ism)
which brings a dialog and
playfulness of cultures,
societies, races, and soul
into a format everyone can
take a bite of. Over the last
two years I have recently
taken my art into the form of
literature as well writing a
collection of poetry
published, screen plays, art
books, and am currently
writing a play to be produced
later in the upcoming year....

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
Art chose me. I wanted to go to new york when I was four and be an artist supposedly the stories goes and I didn't even know where that was when I was four.
Before that I wanted to be the color purple. I have known nothing, but art since I have existed. I am as much my art, as my art is me. There is no separation. We are one and I would have it no other way. |
