RAW Artists San Antonio Proudly Presents "SCOPE"

September 25, 2014

I was chosen to be apart of this artist showcase September 25, 2014 at 210 Kapones. It was a wonderful experience for me. I had all my family and friends show up and support my artwork. The venue was beautiful and management by Sammy Muzar was excellent.

This was my first show and I was very humbled to be chosen because its a difficult show to get into. The turnout of the event was excellent. Here is the artist statement for that piece:
Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy 2014
The octopus has always held a special place in my heart. It is one of my muses at the moment. I have incorporated an Asian element that has been a common theme within all my work. This was my one of first images I created using this printmaking technique. The octopus image is etched onto a copper plate. The printed paper was cut out in the same shape as the image. And then bonded and printed through the press.
Creating the entire image as a whole as almost a seamless process. I knew instantly the direction I wanted to go with and was very happy with the end result. I did not have a name at first for this piece, but once I heard Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy, I knew it was perfect.
