Those of you who don't know me, I'm a new Artist living in NYC. I'm originally from West Texas (the start of the Southwest) and a lot of my inspiration comes from the brilliant colors I see in the Southwest Sky.
I'm with a lot of people in the opinion that Southwest Art can be a bit tacky, and I've tried to reclaim what it means to use Southwest inspiration, colors, and landscape.
My main influences are Chagall, Kandinsky, Kahlo, and Van Gho.
My main medium is Acrylic with some watercolor thrown in a few pieces.
I create all my art intuitively, what I mean by that is that I rarely premeditate what I'm going to paint. I go to the canvas and let the work create itself by really just focusing on the composition of colors and shapes.
Outside of painting, I attend Columbia graduate school of Education . I went to Brown and took several RISD courses. Other than that, my work is completely new and I've never shown it to anyone--I find parting with my paintings virtually impossible. any opinions will be greatly appreciated.
