BIO I am a mostly self taught artist from Seattle.
My style of art is called "Verism" or "Veritism" which is the theory that art and literature should adhere to truth, even when depicting the ugly or distasteful aspects of life.
As artists I don't think we have to make everything beautiful for our audience so they can feel more comfortable but instead to be true to the intent of the piece even when depicting war or sorrow, etc..
I am very interested in the darker images of the Bible and how they pertain to human suffering and our ability, or inability to cope with tragedy.
