About The Artwork
I've always loved cows. I own a dog, that, ironically, looks sort of like a cow, and maybe that was why I was drawn to her. Since a teenager when I grabbed my first Nikon F5 and took it to the fields around my house I was mesmerized by cows. There is a deep curiosity of strangers and a very social nature in cows. Look through the youtube videos of pet cows and you'll quickly understand the strange ability cows have to behave just like any other pet. I enjoy working in charcoal and pencil as my style lends itself to the free working movement of the medium. I begin, as is apparent in this piece, by filling out the form with expressive strokes; attempting to understand not only form, but connection with my subject. As the drawing progresses, I find shading and form, and along with this the connection becomes more personal. I leave exploratory marks visible to show the progress of the drawing. Erasing these marks seems disingenuous as if I am a more accomplished artist than I am. It would also hide much of the decisions and indecisions that make the piece more unique. Hope you enjoy this piece!

I spend a great deal of time exploring color; it’s subjective nature, it’s ability to arouse feelings in the subconscious, and the way it creates depth in two dimensional space. Shades and tone play a vital role in my images, giving emphasis to a certain detail, creating space between two elements, or adding a sense of gravity or levitation. I often think of how children see the world as I paint; simple shapes, bright, new colors, and a knowledge of themselves that often gets lost as they age. As a kid I knew my place in the world and didn’t care about my place in history. I’d like the simplicity of that life back. I love old things…. from my 17 year old dog to my 51 year old truck, from jazz to boxing; the ingrained narrative of things that have withstood time. I don’t buy into the concern for celebrity that plagues the modern digital age. I long for the days when people spent more time on porches with neighbors and less time in front of screens. I graduated with a degree in art from The University of Georgia and spent years chasing other careers; from sales to firefighting. Fourteen years later, after a serious injury, I found myself picking up art again. I now create art full time, and live in Chattanooga, TN with my wife and a herd of elderly animals.
