X-RAY MAG: What is your medium and method of choice and why did you choose to use these? When two of my drawings were accepted in a city exhibition during the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, I was proud to represent Georgia to the world, and one of my cosmically themed entries Timeless Path received a merit award.īeginning in the 1990s my works have been exhibited several times in Athens, Augusta, and Atlanta, Georgia, but since 2005, my focus has narrowed toward online galleries and portfolios. Thereby certain special effects are achieved, which cannot appear when drawing on white paper. Since the mid-1990s, I have drawn primarily on black paper, which I think gives depth and a spiritual flavor to images. So, why not combine the real with the visionary and brighten the little fellows’ spirits? Thus, were created my first Dreamyfish Art portraits. The concept first occurred to me in 2003 when I noticed that photographs of beautifully hued tropical fish were often taken at such depths that their backgrounds were lackluster blacks or browns. This allows the viewer a ‘sneak peek’ into a fish’s most private dream, for after all, fish dream, too. JC: Portraits are rendered as botanically accurate as possible and are then set within colorful fantasy scenes of their grandest imaginings. X-RAY MAG: Describe your Dreamyfish Art portrait series for us and how it came about.
A lifelong pencil and pen-and-ink artist, my current focus is on colored pencil portraits under the imprint Dreamyfish Art. JC: Thank you, it’s an honor to join you for X-RAY MAG! I am an American artist and a native of Athens, Georgia, where I currently reside in a nearby rural county within the sound of a river’s waterfall. Tell us about yourself and where you are from.
