About the Artist:
I am a self-taught freelance artist currently living in Columbia, South Carolina. Native born in South Mississippi, I remember painting alongside my grandmother, Mabel G. Hust, who was a locally well-known artist in the Hattiesburg area. Although I did not follow in her footsteps in style or subject, she still encouraged and inspired me to develop my own artistic vision.
I find myself deeply inspired and influenced by the works of such artists as Zdzizlaw Beksinski, Alex Grey, Rosaleen Norton, Austin O. Spare and Salvador Dali. I’ve been painting primarily in oils since 1999 in a style akin to Surrealism with a strong focus on Symbolism. After working an administrative job during the day, I feel my real job starts in the evenings and on weekends. Taking part in the creative process of making art rewards me with a sense of great fulfillment and accomplishment.
I’ve displayed and sold several of my original paintings through a local new age gift shop. As a result, I have had several commission offers. I plan to have Giclée prints done of some of my originals that I still own or to which I have access, and these will be available for sale here.
