The Expressionist Artist
David LLoyd 3, I am, and an Artist as well
I was born an Artist, how cool is that!
I have studied Psych. Art, Arts Management,
A.D.H.D. or not! Whatever!
I find new incite in each piece I create,
and I carry that into each piece that follows.
However I paint, primarily to pleasure myself.
There are so many different things to express,
and so many different ways to express them,
so that I don't think I'll run out, in this lifetime!
I believe that since the invention of the camera, the role of the artist shifted
from coping to expressing what she/he sees. While I some times paint things that
are real, I paint them in unreal or altered states.
It is creating something new, that I get off on.
And I hope that the joy I feel as I create each piece,
is passed along to every one who sees them.
I like who I am, and I am having fun. I see beauty everywhere!
Life is good! Aw Tiphareth!
My background is Art Reproduction. (Which I still do)
About 1996, I lost the use of my hands. (Spinal cord damage )
from pedestrian vs hit and run car. (1985)
In 1998 I had neck fusion surgery on C-5,6&7.
In 2005 the Doctor wants to fuse C-3,4 to C-5,6&7. I said no
and in September 2005 I got a Cannabis Recommend and so far
I can manage the pain without sitting in the corner drooling on myself,
like with the Opiates.
Learning to use my hands, again, is the most surreal experience of my life.
Although being a.d.h.d., dyslexic, and ambidextrous,
reality has always confused me!
For the most part, the paintings I am doing now, are Me playing with color,
canvas, binders, and minerals, to play with the light.
The rest you can see for yourself.
You don't have to think like me,
just think!
