Early Evolution Painting

Whitney is a native New Yorker currently residing in Atlanta, GA. From his mid teens until early adulthood he was mentored by his Great Uncle Jaques Goode who is also an artist. In addition to that mentoring he also had the privilege of being in the company of Earnani Silva a successful painter from Brazil. Other than that all of Whitney's talents comes from within, and is mainly self taught.Because of his New York upbringing you will often see cityscapes incoporated in his paintings ; which can be a combination of vibrant colors , rustic effects, mixed with an earthy natural appeal; or a chaotic origination of colors and effects with a eighties pop appeal. " I love a painting to look like it's been worked on; created, not so perfect! I feel imperfection is perfection. Because something that is a natural occurrence is truth".-Whitney
