Great art = genius



Good art = near genius

Profile Information

About Me:
Contemporary Art Photographer living in West Texas
About My Art:
I'm always exploring what it means to be an artist. Yes...that's vague, but as an exploration of vision and expression it's where my work is at this point in time.

I find solace in knowing that I grow as an artist with every piece I create and even more so with every piece of art that I observe.
