Art style<\/strong>: My art style would fall into the realm of Realism and Surrealism. I love to paint the beauty of the world around us, but more often than not my imagination wants a say in the matter, after that the final product has only the vaguest link to the world of realism.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hometown: <\/strong>I grew up in Naples FL.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Early art experience: <\/strong>As early as fifth grade I was always doodling, but it was in high school, under a great teacher Mr. Pat Morrison, that art really dug its teeth into me. The art competitions, gallery showings, the concept of creating something, anything, from a simple blank canvas, it all struck a chord with me and I was hooked.<\/span><\/p>\n

Favorite artists? <\/strong>Degas and John Singer Sargent have always amazed me with their skill, Rodin also holds a special spot in my heart<\/span><\/p>\n

Art schooling: <\/strong>After High school I took a few summer classes at RISD and a few jewelry classes at Arrowmont craft school in Gatlinburg TN. Beyond that it has all been practice practice practice<\/span><\/p>\n

Favorite book: <\/strong>Watership Down by Richard Adams, Power of One by Bryce Courtenay, and (oddly enough for as liberal as I am) Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand<\/span><\/p>\n

Where is your studio located? <\/strong>Currently in Limbo, soon (hopefully) in Water Valley.<\/span><\/p>\n

How many hours do you spend in your studio each day? <\/strong>Ideally at least three hours is needed to make any significant progress, anything that the day allows past that is a gratefully used.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most productive hours? <\/strong>Early morning hours are my favorite out of the day to work, as the world outside begins to stir so do I. With coffee in hand I like to put together the ideas that came about from the day before.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Favorite project you\u2019ve completed: <\/strong>My favorite projects are the ones that are geared to a specific individual.\u00a0 From a painting of an imagined Mt Dew factory, for a good friend who LOVES Mt Dew, to a still-life painting for my father that contains physical memories from our history together within it. \u00a0A portrait I once did for a friend of the family also stands out. She had an infant child pass before his first year and had a picture of him that she wanted painted. That piece meant a lot to me and actually helped kick start me out of a 2-year creative slump<\/span><\/p>\n

Three ideas you want to explore in art? <\/strong>I want to play with both movement and light in my future work. Not the representation of movement and light but actual movement and actual light. A comic strip has also been playing around in my head over the past few years too. I\u2019d like to see were that goes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Where we can see some of your art on display: <\/strong>Currently upon request only<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you have a \u201cday job\u201d? If so, where? <\/strong>I am a server at Boure on the square<\/span><\/p>\n

Favorite music\/bands? <\/strong>Beatles, Blind Mellon, Pearl Jam, Elton John, Fun<\/span><\/p>\n

What are some of your other hobbies? <\/strong>I also love gardening, landscaping, and dabbling with bonsai.<\/span><\/p>\n

Where do you hang out in oxford? <\/strong>I stick close to home at Boure, they have some of the best bartenders in town, past that at a close second would be Lenoras.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

How can Oxfords art scene be improved? <\/strong>It would be hard to improve upon the job that Wayne Andrews has been doing here with the Yoknapatawpha Arts Council. I however would love to see some community outreach in the form of a wall mural to bring some color to some of the back alleys of oxford.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aspirations: <\/strong>To get a jewelry line comfortably up and running so I can have more time to work on my paintings.\u00a0\"The<\/a>
