I am creating a site-specific drawing on the twelfth floor, which has been executed on site during the course of installation.
Please see my blog www.theflatfile.blogspot.com for more information about the artwork.

I am a local artist, who graduated from UMUC with a Fine Arts Degree, 2000.

Most of my work is done in oil on canvas. I work largely from photographs I have taken myself of scenes to which I had a personal response, and I try to capture the essence of that response in the painting. My paintings are fairly representational and the inter-mountain Western US has been the focus of much of my work. Occasionally a photo taken by someone else will be my subject matter.

im a tattoo artist of 5 years. most of my work is watercolor, tattoo influenced, and also some wood panels with various mediums. i also have some photoraphy

I am not afraid of color.....Vibrancy, based on bold and daring hues are what my paintings and travel photography entail. Giving still-life breath through color is something I aspire to do with every piece. Each work reflects my personality; one filled with optimistic bubbles of vivacity and versatility. Even the gloomiest of paintings have flickers of light that signify hope. Van Gogh inspires me because his paintings are truly versatile. Beneath each of his pieces lie a certain sense of urgency and reckless abandon that greatly appeal to me. My undying passion for travel is my current muse. Born and raised in Nigeria; this fact remains an undertone in the bold, tropical colors I gravitate towards.

Recent photography.

My image display at this year's Artomatic will be very similar to last year's AOM in medium, technique and presentation. However, I have lately been working to include people in my photos, as opposed to the people-less photos of my earlier work. I still make the city-scape type images that you may have seen last year, but am choosing to show the newer images of portraits and models for this year's display.

As before, I am creating my images using 100% film, and no digital manipulation whatsoever.

My work attempts to balance both order and chaos. The order in my use of geometric shapes with sharp lines is offset by the looseness of the shapes (chaos). I rarely udiliz a brush in my art but instead apply paint with an assortment of different objects. I tend to concentrate on color and composition allowing forms to just happen.

I have drawn and painted since childhood.
I paint what interests me.
Right now I am interested in painting people and pets.
I try to give my paintings a sense of the individual-ness of the person or the pet.
I love love love dogs.
I also love cats, fish, turtles, even some rodents.
Bringing their adorable faces to life on a canvas is exciting.
