Gritty Painting - Limited Edition of 50

I am an artist with over 30 years of creativity in the visual and performance arts. I have a robust portfolio of works in both fine arts and photography featured in national and international art exhibitions. My background in almost every area of the arts allows me to create impactful visual content that resonates and makes me a valuable asset in the Creative Arts industry. I paint to create and inspire urgent and self-examining thoughts in myself and in the viewer – no schemes, no patronage. My artworks are issue-based and will not do well complimenting a world already so ruined by natural and man-made events. What are my intentions? My works must invite you to discuss, debate, and possibly, confront these issues. If they don’t, I will have failed in my profession as an artist and a creator. I have christened my art “The Emergency Room Art” because I believe that hope and leadership-centered works of art are so imperative in our present time that a work of art that does not strive after these must be deemed a trifling waste of time. I work mainly in oil color because it is ductile, slow drying, and has the widest range of hues when compared to other mediums. I equally produce photographic art and often work my way from photography to most of my oils. While my art remains an art, it remains, for me, a medium through which I am eminently empowered to vocalize the fears and pains inflicted on man by man.
