It is created without a worry of what is acceptable. This is the main reason that this sector of arts appeals so much to me. I truly beleive that formal training would hamper my creativity. It would cause me to worry about whether everything has proper perspective, is properly proportioned, etc...      I paint about my experiences, emotions, and views of life in general. I have yet to find a book that can help me create visions of how my eyes see the world. Self taught art and outsider art is about creating what I see as interesting not what some jackass art critic thinks is interesting. I strongly urge everyone to support self taught art and outsider art as it is truly unique in comparison to conventional art. Thanks also to the support and encouragement from all of the other outsider artists I have met. Home | Galleries | Buy Art | Contact
