Where I'm Headed

 

  1. My original idea was to create a video expressing my artistic interest and where I want my art to go in the future, but after talking to some friends of mine, who are artists as well, they suggested that I start a website. My friends explained to me how imperative it is for every artist to have a website where their art can be on display 24/7 365. A website is like a never-ending art gallery for an artist. My website is also a representation of future projects I have and where I want my artwork to go moving forward. I was nervous at first about displaying my art on a website because I did not think it was up to par, but I remembered a quote from the McLuhan book that read “We have no art. We do everything as well as we can.” This quote stuck with me because it provides me with a sense of reassurance. My website will touch on the many mediums that I am trying to be involved in. These mediums include Videography/Cinematography, Photography, Fashion & Design, and Streaming/Podcasting. My faith is a big part of my life, so I wanted my artwork and my website to be a representation of where I am in my relationship with God. I want my website to not only express who I am, but to also inspire others to express who they
    are.

  McLuhan states "The Museum has become a storehouse of human values, a cultural blood blank"  I was extremely excited to take part in the art show because the last time I took part in an art show was the state art show and I lost in the final round.

I really appreciated being able to put my art on display without the fear of it being compared to someone else's as if it was a competition . I also gained an appreciation for printing the images as well because it makes you consider how important resolution and photo quality is. Also, it is such a thrilling feeling to have a book published with your own artwork in it. The book is something I can always look back on and remember as the starting point. The book is a steppingstone for me, and I really look forward to publishing more books of my artwork. I someday hope to see some of my artwork in a museum and to be apart...

My World

  I live by three words; Progress Not Perfection. These three words embody my art journey entirely. My art journey started when I was a first-year student in high school, and it consists of three mediums; music writing, photography, and fashion and design. I dabble a little in cinematography, but primarily in the other three mediums. My personal motto with art is, especially photography, to capture something today to create inspiration for tomorrow. A medium in art is merely a system used to translate a message. The message should not only transcend the medium, but it should transcend time as well. Art should portray a message that is not only significant today, but the message should be remarkable to anybody at any point in time.  The message I want to spread through my art is Live, Love, Laugh. I believe that to get through life one must be capable of loving and laughing. McLuhan states that “Our time presents a unique opportunity for learning by means of humour—a perce...
