Hi, I guess you've come here because you're interested in seeing some of my art. I am a watercolourist as well as graphite pencil artist. I have mixed feelings about whether art should be a career or hobby for me. Instead I think of it this way: art is life and life is art. I am constantly influenced by art and creation (or actually, to quote Tolkien, "sub-creation"). I don't think we could make it through this world if art wasn't pointing to the moon, as it were. (Check out the quote do your left.) I've studied with a few different artists and even had some classes in school which I don't consider worth mentioning except for this: Picture this: freshman in high school. I am in an art class and we're going on a field trip to visit some local artists' studios. We're also going to sketch from life while we're out. We stop by the local coffee house, Dutch Bros. (plug for Grants Pass coffee and the Dutch mafia), where I now only drink smoothies, because of the experience I'm about to relate which definitely made me into a tea drinker. My mom usually got the Iced Kicker, but decaf. I liked the taste alright, so I got the largest size of this tasty drink. Unfortunately, as you might have guessed already, it was caffeinated. Needless to say, everything I sketched that day looks an awful lot like Charles Schulz in his later years. :) Peace, Brian
I'm going to be updating this page, too . . . eventually! I promise! —September 16, 2006 |

'Art is meant to open the
human heart to truth and beauty, goodness and unity. It is like a
finger pointing to the moon. It is not the finger that is important,
it is the moon.' |
