Albert Dudley Buchanan

Hello, my name is A. Dudley Buchanan. I am a self taught artist who works in mixed media and steel.

First, a bit of history. I was born in El Paso, Texas, where my father worked for the railroad. We moved to California when I was one year old and it has been home ever since. I am a hyper-active dyslexic eccentric artist. We can review other quirky things about my character another day.

I find it necessary to create art when I am in an emotional spectrum. My mind will always turn to making art and it is my coping skill. I try to relate to the real world through my art and freeze the moment. The raw emotions that are going on, whether they be happy or otherwise helps me get out what I'm feeling. Hopefully I can convey something beautiful.

Please visit my website, to see how my paintings transition from regular lighting to black lighting!
