ARTIST STATEMENT: JAMES DAVIS
What does it mean to be an artist? It means that out all possible gifts and talents, that we…the creative ones…have been blessed with the ability to create. The majority of the time we merely copy what we see and never achieve the warmth of a sunset or the quiet peace and beauty of a snow-covered landscape we try so hard to imitate. Then there are other times. Times when sparks of new ideas hit. The passionate hard work of going through the process to get the layout and execution of a plan just right. The hours of hours, days of days and sometimes years of the process of creation. The sheer joy when your idea is born into reality. Other humans understand and enjoy the art created. Connecting with others to gain the strength to start again. Being an artist is a humbling and joyful experience wrapped in love! It is my deepest hope that as you explore the galleries, you see evidence of an artist that is in the process of ever expanding his artistic universe. An unending spark that leads to exploration of all to form modern art that speaks to artistic souls as well as bind people of all walks of life commercially. Combined with the sheer passion to capture moments that define the human experience that forms a mirror for life's thread that binds us as one species. I'm eternally grateful to be given the gifts of the artist. It's an honor to share them with you. SPECIAL THANKS: To my loving family. Thanks for sticking with me then, now and always. I love you all so much! We are one! Miss you Mom! |
