Artist Statement

My portfolio was done for a school project and I will be adding to it as I continue to draw and paint. I use to do art back in High School and have just started up again. I really loved doing these projects of art. I hope with time I can improve on certain art pieces and I will start working with oil also. To me art is a way of showing expression, imagination, sensitivity and doing what you love. I would not be going into this as a profession but will continue to make art as a fun thing to do. I like to sit and paint, but I do not have a lot of time to do this as I have a busy life with lots of other things going on.
My grandmother and Great Grandfather were both artists and I have pieces of their work. My Great Grandfather even painted on wood and made earrings with wood and then painted on them. They are beautiful and I even own a pair. My sister is also very good with art. I guess it is in my family and it was past down to my daughter who is a great artist as well. The art that I enjoyed working with was Conte and the theme Pop Art. I will try my hand at using Conte and working with oil paints again. I found that oil was great to work with it was just a pain for it to dry.
Art covers a broad spectrum of activities and is wide-ranging. Art is about painting in many mediums, there are also sculptures, photography, clay, graphic design, and the list goes on and on. There are many artists out there and their work is a pleasure to look at. Everyone has there own idea of good art, mine is whatever catches my eye or if it means something to me. An artist’s responsibility is to enjoy what he loves and to do it well. Art is beautiful and everyone finds at least one piece that they like or loves. So for all you artists out there keep up the great work. It takes a lot of time and ability to create these wonderful art works.
