The Martyr is an experimental piece that was started before I moved to England only to be rediscovered as I prepped pieces for this website. I was mixing all sorts of things into the ink to see what kinds of effects I could achieve. This included sea salt, oatmeal, sand, ...etc just to add different kinds of textures. I was also applying the ink with sticks, rags, sponges, eye droppers, ...etc to see what kinds of effects I could achieve. I will be experimenting further with this piece, but wanted to document it at this stage.
My passion for art came naturally from both sides of my family tree. However, most of my early inspiration and training came from my father who was gifted in many media. I also acquired a keen interest in history, anthropology, archaeology, and nature from my father. For me, art is a way of exploring the wide and diverse world and expressing myself within it. As a result, I work with a variety of media in a diverse number of styles, often simultaneously. Unfortunately, my curiosity and diverse interests often means that many pieces of art get left incomplete...or that I end up finishing pieces years after I began them. It also means that I have a tendency to dabble in experimental methods, materials, or subjects...
