For as long as I can remember, I wanted to be an artist. But, as my parents gently pointed out to me early on, the life of an artist was far from lucrative. So instead I opted for the modern day art degree and fell in love with the beauties of typography, color and layout, and began my career as a graphic designer.
But it was on the train to and from my first job that I felt the most alive. Huddled against the window scribbling away—sketches, phrases, ideas, creations, poems. It felt organic.
The past 5 years have taken me to the big world of advertising as a copywriter. Yet, I’ve always wanted to revert back to “art” in the non commercial sense. And so, the 5 piece (mixed media/acrylic on canvas) collection below represents the fine artist, graphic designer and word smith within me.
Art with Words
