Ontario Canada Stopover

I am far from my home in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada right now. I am in Collingwood, Ontario, Canada. I am leaving Canada in 10 days to begin a thrilling painting adventure in Panama City, Panama. Corinna Haight (my girlfriend) and I will be painting as much work as we can for some very awesome people in Panama... a very awesome place. I can not stop dreaming of and visualizing the changes, influences and inspirations that will come to my artwork once again.

I am an artist who is very driven by changing scenery, however I do not paint scenery. I am driven by my surroundings and travels, however, I rarely paint my surroundings. I am also driven by new people, new outlooks, and new societies. These I paint.

I paint whatever comes from my mind, however it comes out and the outcome differs from week-to-week or day-to-day. Sometimes, as you see here in these images, I produce something that I really like, which in turn inspires me to produce another piece of work similar. I often start my bodies of work this way, accidentally, by flowing into it from the process of production alone. I produce a lot of work from quick sketches to multi-day, detailed pieces.

I go by feel, as it is the way I found my passion and it is the way I will grow with it. These are 4 of the 20 or so pieces I have done in watercolour and ink since I have arrived in Ontario 3 weeks ago. If one needed to categorize the works into style, there would be 4 styles, but I don't care to label them. Only 1 style is seen here. All works are on paper and behind glass.

FOLLOW YOUR PASSION!
COMPROMISE ALL COMPROMISE
CODE OF CREATION..........

Peace!

WHY I WORK

I was born September 3, 1976 in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada and possess no formal education in visual arts.

Inspiration is drawn from my boredom, political angers, loves, desires, dreams, visions and global travels. Seeing places such as England, France, Mexico, Cayman Islands, Jamaica, Belize, and almost every Canadian province and American state, has given me a broad scope of understanding in social injustices, societal falsities, collective desires and passionate likings.

My lifelong goal is to create magnificent, unique, life-supporting images that bring a global, community awareness to the viewer. All paintings incorporate elements and content regarding, unity, protection, respect, and dignity for our planet and Mother Earth, her peoples and environment. This is done by use of traditional design, aboriginal elements, and tribal peoples as subject, often with broken text stating the outright aspiration for a better life and caring thought pattern.

My work is brilliant, bold, intense, and highly collectible as I possesses in my archives over 90% of the work I have done from the age of one year old. My work is now enjoyed on nearly every continent, in many homes, businesses and private collections around the world.
