Artist Statement:
By the grace of God I have been given the talent to portray on paper what I cannot express in words. My approach to painting has a tendency to be analytical. Intrigued by scenes where the light and dark areas of a picture create a design of their own, I focus on the overall composition of the drawing first. Once I choose a subject or scene I continually break each section of the picture into smaller areas, focusing on each shape and it's relationship to the whole. I use color to express the mood of the scene. Rather than replicate the subject, I express it, inviting you to view the scene as I perceive it.
I was born in Oakland, CA. on May 20, 1956, but have spent most of my life in St. Louis, Mo.I realized early on that I had a passion for art and focused on art through high school. I eventually registered in the Fine arts program at Florissant Valley Community College and obtained an associates degree in Fine Arts.I also obtained an associates degree in Chemical Technology to improve my marketability. I have exhibited in art fairs, schools and galleries. More recently, I have been guest artist at Maria's Little Art Gallery and Boutique and featured artist on www.sharyne.com . My work may be viewed at various internet galleries and my website www.sgoriginals.com . Other recent exhibits include “Black and White” show at Maximillan's café in Florida, and I am scheduled to exhibit several small works at Bottomfeeders Gallery in New York City Sept. 2, 2002. At present I am experimenting with creating art by combining chemistry techniques with art.
