PANEL
DISCUSSION
As a part of Americans for the Arts Creative Conversations
initiative, Art Whino will be hosting a panel discussion on the validity of
current art trends within the larger realm of fine art. Panelists will debate
whether or not Lowbrow and Pop Surrealist art carry the same amount of cultural
significance and demand the same respect as more traditional forms of
contemporary art. Come check out our new space in Georgetown, above the Adidas
store and take part in this lively conversation.

informational wine tasting will be provided by WineShop at Home

 Artist Statement:
This is my world, and this
is how I show it to people. Usually it is
quite fun here.... but it can be
quite strange as well. The creatures that inhabit my work are the same creatures
that inhabit my mind. Robots dance across the landscapes holding hands with
people who are not quite sane, while small, strange, creatures run in and out of
the scenery. My mind is a story that needs to be told! Mostly my influence comes
from my childhood, and the fears that followed me as I grew up. Cartoons,
comics, fun, insecurities, happiness and anger all intermingle in my work. I
bring all of this together in paintings, drawings and mixed media. My work
usually deals with different emotions and feelings: happiness, sadness,
curiosity, anger, etc, but more than anything, I like to have fun with my
imagery. Usually though, the interpretation of my work is left up to the viewer,
letting them establish their own ideas of my world, much like we are left to
interpret the real world on our own.
