Back-woods

TEXAS


conceptual-figurative art

"I love trend art. I love pop art and graffiti art. I just don't love to do them. I think I stick with more traditional art because my art is for me and not necessarily for the viewers. I think it's a sad thing to admit that my art comes out of a need for healing instead of enjoyment. It's a realistic answer for me and I'm trying to embrace that. I guess my work serves as a way for me to gauge if I'm still capable, which is a question I asked myself more often these days. Maybe my art is a little bit of reassurance that I still have value."
