Thor

It is only after we lose everything that we are free to do anything.

I remember when art, for me, was a pursuit. A journey. But the journey can only last so long. I uprooted myself from common, comforts of life. Through depression and alcoholism, I was able to stare deep inside the darkest corners of myself and find my way to a very raw dichotomy of emotional detachment and artistic freedom. Art is many things to many people. To me, it is now my entire world. Artists are superior individuals; we are creators, we are gods.

I can't ration the most accurate allegory or prose for how I see the world and how I live my life through my art, but most other artists will know the same glorious burden that I do.

In the end, my lust and desire for my creation is greater then my need for anything else in life. I currently reside in my home state of Pennsylvania with my cat, Ghost.

Some paintings are available for sale. Contact the artist for details and pricing.
