I
am an artist myself specialising in digital and acrylic artworks.
I appreciate any form of art in any medium and love to see innovative
use of content in works.
My "Qualifications"
I have been an artist my whole life starting with painting from
any early age. I progressed into cartooning and drawing in my
early teens and started working also in digital realms at the
beginning of the personal computer age. As a major work for
my Higher School Certificate I created a computer based work
on a Commodore 64. I also produced a video and accompanying
sculpture.
I exhibited my works at my school and went on to further my
education at College studying Fine Arts. I specialised in Painting
and Sculpture although I was always doing video and computer
work on the side exploring the artistic potential of the computer
via 3d image rendering.
I furthered my studies at University Level quitting due to the
restrictive nature of the system and pathetic facilities (art
departments are low priority in comparison to sports departments!).
This experience quashed my desire to create art for 2 years
until I realised what was missing from my life and I started
creating digital and painted works again.
I discovered the creative benefits to myself that entheogen
could provide and the spirituality they allowed me to embody
opened me to better methods of expression. Over many hours of
'flight' I learned to understand what the word psychedelic and
visionary meant in relation to art. I attempt to create this
experience of transcedence in my own works.
I select works based on this understanding that may specifically
trigger or enhance aspects of anyones trip whether they be 'straight'
or 'high' whilst viewing.
I hope you enjoy the works that I have selected for the vault
and welcome your comments.
Peace, Love n Light
