Alone and Alone (with headphones and with others)

2016

To be alone and to be lonely are very different states of mind. I often enjoy some alone time with a pair of headphones, off in my own world. There is also something magical about sitting at a bar among strangers, soothed to be near but equally in our own worlds. This diptych of two small paintings examines these feelings in subtle ways, attempting to show the grace and unsustainability of being alone in equal parts.

I was born and raised in New Orleans, and at a young age I took interest in local art and culture. Leaving behind engineering scholarships at 19 to fully pursue my art interests, I soon booked my first exhibit in New Orleans showing colored-pencil sketches based on studies of Degas' dancers.

After these Degas' studies and many others of great artists, I began pursuing a new, self-taught method that formed into the sculptural-painting and collage techniques I use today. My works using these techniques have been shown in New York, New Orleans, and Oklahoma City galleries.
