Visual Art – Salt Lake City

The notion to create art a profession is a relatively new aspiration for me. Ive always had a sketchbook close by, however the drive to take it a step further for the most part has always been lacking. I\'ve had a semi-artistic upbringing, the tools have always been available, however having to provide my own answers to the the many questions i had, has always left me a bit cautious toward creating. It wasn\'t until recently, that I was caught in a current of artistic intention, this single moment that has brought me to this point. This tiny, minute space of time; I really would have missed it if i had blinked. I remember staring up at an old ceiling in a basement, tracing the cracks in the paint with my eyes and waiting for the next step of my life to approach. Before i ever held a paint brush with the intention of making a name for myself, I knew that i was entering into something different. Something that had only to do with myself, and in a cyclic self awareness and deconstruction; something that finally could give back as much as i put into it.
