Welcome to my portfolio of creative efforts.
I create to give myself pleasure, a sense of accomplishment and a deeper level of fulfillment in my life. The world I see around me has a strong impact upon my sense of who I am and where I am on this planet. Sometimes I attempt to translate my visions realistically and sometimes I attempt to translate them with little reference to reality, but I always try to translate what I see. Ever since I was a small child, I have been driven to create. Art is my refuge, my haven and my playroom. Making art allows me to exert both the child within me and the adult. My goal is to find ways to express visually the things I cannot and would not want to articulate verbally.
I am drawn to art that is highly personal, but not obviously so. I love color, shape, texture, line and especially shadow and light. I can happily lose myself in the play and study of these elements. I love exploring, experimenting and refining my skills in drawing, sketching and painting. I also have begun to explore other media and techniques. I desire to create art that feels true to me and my hope is that those who view my artwork are able to connect to what they see.
Scans of my paintings, drawings and works in other media are contained in the below-listed directories. The images contained in this directory or any of its sub-directories may not be copied or distributed without my express permission. You may contact me at couchart@cox.net.
