I would love for you to be here……The venue is going to blow people away! I am right next door to a very influential individual in the art world Patrick Disasio of Florida West Arts. He is a very inspirational man and is the person behind this art venue and I was very fortunate to be introduced to him. The first time we met we talked for 5 hours (PJ Hoover was there also) about his goals and my dream of breaking away from the chains of greed and money which holds us hostage from our passion and creativity. It isn’t only decorative artists which I am introducing and welcoming to the studio, it’s for all artists, of all mediums because I want decorative artists to see how far they can go and realize that art just doesnt stop at the walls and ceilings. I am into many different things and get alot of my inspirations from just being around other artists and musicians. There will be art shows, live music, all with in an out door cafe setting next to one of the finest neighborhoods in the area. I have a growing number of other artists who are joining me to network, communicate and grow. There will be all types of artists I will be introducing for social gatherings, guest instructors as well as a few lectures to expand the creative mind. This all but a small part of my plan for 2010 to build a common ground for everyone to grow where attitudes and greed are not tolerated by price cutting or copycat artistry for the sake of a dollar by unscrupulous individuals who try to put us against each other and control our market that way. This OUR market and this kind of behaviour is imprisoning our ability to learn and grow from the knowledge that each and every one of us have to offer, wheather your a sculpture artist, fine artist, or even a faux artist, Its ALL art and should be explored! Look at Leonardo DeVinci………
