“I believe in using every medium at my disposal as a form of creative expression so I am in a continual state of creativeness”. Louis Cutler
Statement
My work almost always starts with a figurative form, and then everything else grows around it. It's as if the figure gives birth to the rest; without the figure, the painting cannot exist. I am a Mix-media, multicultural artist and sculptor with a focus on nature and the clothed human form. Simplicity, peace, harmony, and calm is my mantra. I believe my art is created out of the overflow of love, wisdom, peace and faith given to me by my heavenly Father to share with the world. This is echo throughout my work. My work is about bringing about change where you stand.
In my mind and artist must withdraw from the, what is and rely on the, what if, the probability of something greater. Man is limited by what he sees with his eyes. One can only achieve true creativity by stepping outside of sight and into insight. We must remove our blinders in order to see true reality. By doing this we will be able to change our world
My Bronze pieces are birth out of my paintings. Each painting is and incubator for something greater, as I recreate the different forms from my paintings in clay they become an entirely new body of work. This new work seems to come alive in my hand in three-dimensional form, birth from a creation to form yet another creation. Much like our creator formed us.
