Watchers

Born, raised and currently residing in Seattle. My time is spent drawing, painting, creating sounds in bands (Christdriver/Black Noise Cannon) and being a single parent. I've been doing visual art since I can remember, influenced by the Surrealists and the discovery of Entheogens at a young age. More recently finding an affiliation with the ongoing and ever burgeoning Fantastic/Visionary art movement, through this I have been making connections and expanding horizons. Having been drawn to the shadow side of expressing myself I have been inclined at times to visualize death and darkness in my work, sometimes obvious, other times subtle. This process in creating my art is transformative, and reflects an evolution towards something within and yet beyond myself. As for any meaning in my work I think the beauty and power of visual art is that it's open to the individual's interpretation. Question what you see, consider what you don't, draw your own conclusions.

I have been creating visual art since I can remember, having been influenced by the Surrealists and the discovery of Entheogens at a young age. I find continued inspiration in traveling and spending as much time in nature as possible, my art has always reflected the strange and the weird, the fantastic and visionary. At times reflecting the macabre and my darker side and other times exploring my fascination with the unknowable and the awe and mystery of being alive. My work obviously has meaning for me and my personal myth comes through either consciously or unconsciously; as for any absolute meaning in my work though, I think the power of visual art is that it's open to the individual's interpretation. Question what you see, consider what you don't, draw your own conclusions.

Without art, the crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable.

Some great stuff here, and I'm so glad you've gone off in your own direction and aren't just another visionary artist following in the footsteps of Alex Gray. So refreshing to see this type of art that isn't syrupy, or perfectly symmetrical, or cliched.

You have some absolutely amazing stuff! I wasn't sure which I liked the most and so I felt I had to make a general comment about how much I love all of it :)

Compassion in practise is sometimes as a searing knife, on the gushing tar open wound of the limp heart of my Enemy.
