RWJR's studio is located in Bartlett, Tn....next to Memphis. RWJR attended: MTSU, University of Memphis and Columbia State with a focus towards Graphic Design and Studio Art.

Artist Statement: One of my favorite quotes is by Joseph Campbell, "Follow your bliss...". That is exactly what painting is for me, Bliss. Art has the power to effect people both in a positive way and in a negative way. The fact that we feel these emotions is what makes it art. I intend to follow my bliss and continue painting, learning and teaching what I know and have seen along the way. My hope is that I inspire others to follow their bliss and along the way people might connect with my artwork.

Close-2-Art Creations by RWJR

 Artist Information: Schools attended: MTSU, University of Memphis, Columbia State University - Graphic Design/Studio Art.

I spend my days working on new pieces and constantly searching for a better painting. I continue to grow and expand my technique trying new things and experimenting and constantly learning. Stylized lines along with bright vivid color combinations is my main focus in each piece of artwork. My painting technique is one that I have developed over years of experimenting with all types of paints. I take pride in all my art and I am very critical of my work, like most artists are. Art has the power to evoke strong feelings, both positive and negative. The fact that you feel these emotions is what makes it art in the first place. My intention is to follow my bliss, art, and hope I inspire others to follow their bliss.

 

"Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors where there were walls"...Joseph Campbell
