His work is modern
freestyle abstract. His present work is
characterized by bold strokes in bright colors, but like many artists, he has
gone trough various stages. For instance, he
has monochromatic works in various colors as well as intricately patterned
multi-colored pieces. Other paintings
have more flowing circular motion that draws the eye to reveal hidden figures
which Wayne may not be aware of, but which the beholder interprets for
himself. He tends to get
lost in his artistry and at times like that, his creativity and imagination
take flight. In those instances, the
observer may catch sight of an expression of Wayne’s spiritual nature or of the
observer’s own spiritual awareness. Throughout his
life, Wayne has tended to work in areas that have allowed creative
expression. He has worked as a
cartographer, technical illustrator and machine designer. In most recent years, he has been
self-employed as a well-known hard rock water well driller who is capable of
finding water when other drillers fail to do so. This kind of work has allowed him the flexibility to find time
for painting. Wayne is a native
of New Mexico. He has spent the
majority of his life on the family farm near Mayhill in the Sacramento
Mountains of southern New Mexico. Try as they may,
his family and friends cannot tempt him with tales of their travels. Wayne knows he lives in his own vision of
paradise and can see no need to go seeking it elsewhere. Wayne is a free spirited artist philosopher. |
