I am an outsider artist. What is outsider art? That's a good question with many answers. I like this one: Michel Thevoz, Curator of the Collection de l'Art Brut in Lausanne has written the following: "Art Brut", or "outsider art", consists of works produced by people who for various reasons have not been culturally indocrinated or socially conditioned. They are all kinds of dwellers on the fringes of society. Working outside the fine art "system" (schools, galleries, museums and so on), these people have produced, from the depths of their own personalities and for themselves and no one else, works of outstanding originality in concept, subject and techniques. They are works which owe nothing to tradition or fashion." Some may consider me a contemporary folk artist. I can go with that too. What I do know is that I have such a passion for creating art that it creeps into my dreams at night and distracts me during the day. The joy I feel when I am creating is much like the joy I feel when watching my children when they are unaware of my gaze.
