Pastel Abstract

Illustration

Painting and drawing have been my passion since before I have memories. I grew up making abstract work, and didn’t know what I was doing. My works were generally met with the question “What is it?” or “Why don’t you draw something like a house?”. I was encouraged to “Actually make something” enough times that I started push further into abstract. When I saw a Kandinsky painting hanging at a children’s hospital in the big city, everything changed. I thought it was beautiful beyond words. My mom explained that the kids at the children’s hospital probably made it. It took 15 years before I saw that painting again, and I realized it had influenced me more than any other artwork I had seen. I kept making art the way I wanted to. After years of creating, I had my first show, and the response floored me. The words of the art show goers inspired me. Words, and a handful of sales carried me to the art supply store with the intention to buy bigger canvasses, and really hammer out as much as I could from there on.

I also make music that ventures into similarly abstracted territory. Feel free to check it out at https://thesunisee.bandcamp.com/
