Thanks Terry!
Glad to be taking it to the next level.
Howdy Folks,
Some of you already know a bit about me but plenty do not.
I am a full-time firefighter/EMT for my day job, but my motivating passion is fine art. I am a trained painter/sculptor and earned my BFA from the University of Miami in 2007.
I have been slowly but steadily working on my art career alongside other endeavors like the fire service and pursuing goals of raising a happy and healthy family.
My primary medium is painting and I traditionally paint large non-figuritive abstract paintings, typically in the neighborhood of 60 x 72". I have shown my work in galleries in Miami and Tallahassee and currently have the goal to expand further.
The road to a successful career as an artist is a long journey that requires patience, inspiration, and perseverance.
This all ties in to traditional archery because recently I have been inspired to try and blend my style of abstract painting with traditional archery and bowhunting themes. I have some neat ideas in the works and want to start sharing these creations with the members of Tradgang. There are few other interests/hobbies I have pursued with such fervor as trad bowhunting and I am really excited to use trad as a muse to see what creations I can come up with. It will be a nice outlet and will no doubt help enhance my non-traditional archery themed works as well.
Stay tuned, I will hopefully be offering up a catalog of works for the enjoyment of TG sometime before this current year is up. Working on a group of paintings right now in my spare time.
Art is the highest expression of the human spirit and I just want to do my part to keep folks excited about art and excited about traditional bowhunting in the 21st Century.
Glad to be part of this great place.
