This is a very special day for me. As many of you may know, I spent most of my art career promoting and supporting other artists. I would paint and create projets at my leisure and was commissioned to produce art from friends and family. I have never posted any of my art online.
I started my art career in the 1980's when the internet was not popular. As many artists know, we made ourselves known through family, friends and presenting our work at galleries, art fairs and the like. Though this may seem really old to some of you, it is only new for me because its my first time ever presenting my work online in any fashion.
For the past 8 years, I've promoted other artists and supported their efforts in the art world. On my former website Expressive Visions.com, I featured many artists from all over the world on my website as well as offering FREE advertising to them. For over 5 years, I dedicated my art instincts and support to other African American artists because I love ethnic art.
Now is the time for me to embrace my talents once again and create art for others and not just those close to me.
What you see above is my very first portrait that I have recently completed of Luther Vandross, simply titled, "My Luther" . This is the first of many from my Music Artist Series. I had planned this series in 2007, but this happened to be the best time to start creating.
It is not for sale at this time but just wait and see what is to come. As my collection grows, I will post more and present them all on a brand new website. So, stay posted with what I am doing and feel free to tell me what you think.
If you have any requests for portraits for your own collection, please contact me at: exvigalleries@gmail.com.
