Visual Art – Austin

In 1999 I graduated from the Art Institute of Houston with a degree in Graphic Design. Currently I am a working artist in Austin, TX. Art is my life.. I am Runnin\' Down the Dream trying to make a living doing what I love. I don\'t feel the need to capture everything exactly as it exists in so-called reality. To appreciate space and form from an imaginative, spiritual and non-realistic perspective for me comes closer to capturing what\'s more real: that which leaves an impression on my heart and mind. The unseen spirit that moves form and space. So to me abstraction and true representation are not so far apart. I seek to create not only objects, but also the spirit therein. For me this is the most personal, emotional and thought-provoking form of art. I consider a creation complete when the idea I am trying to express matches the thoughts in my mind. If somebody, while looking at my at my artwork gets that special feeling of something personal, I\'m satisfied.
