The imagery in my work is inspired by my observations of nature. Native American culture prior to the 1800's and the experiences I have had in the world about me. I fell in love with surrealism because it is limitless i dimension. it allows me the freedom to create what is in my heart. I am creating a visual communication with the world that words alone cannot express.
Media:
For my studies I use pencil or Prismacolor pencils with ink. My final art is produced with airbrush and ink. I enjoy the flexibility of airbrushing with the varying gradation it allows. I use a mixed media of airbrushing with acrylics and ink, pencil, and Prismacolor.
