My Process in Art:
My art process is as follows,
-
I conduct research on a given country, as well on it's unique history and global significance.
-
Schedule travel arrangements to that given country.
-
Seek to discover and understand the countries unique narratives while on location via: personal one-on-one encounters and conversations with it's indigenous and expat citizens of said country.
-
Photograph my encounters, experiences that will honorably represent the country and the culture.
-
Journal to record my impressions while on location
-
Return home and reflect on my experiences
-
Seek God’s heart for that country and determine the best way to transmute into a visual format my very personal experiences, encounters and impressions
-
Determine the best medium to used in the artwork to be created
-
Begin the process of making an individual miniature handmade books that record & reflect what I discovered, with an emphasis on reflecting a heart of compassion and honor for the people I met and the country I visited.
-
Then, I paint the portrait of the face that best represents that country. (See Portrait Gallery link below)
-
Share the Hand-made book's that reflect the countries unique narrative (View images of several of these books in Gallery Link Below)
-
Continue to share the lessons, the art and the experiences with others, equipping them to have a deeper appreciation for the nation, it's heritage and it's people.
-
Repeat the process.
Let me also invite you to reach out to me to come and share my presentations on the power of art being a catalyst for demonstrating a culture of honor.
