The artist, a Blanchet House Resident, is a charismatic, hardworking guy next door who feels the pains & plights of the marginalized and forgotten. He was educated abroad and believes strongly in defending those who cannot defend themselves and goodness. He is a perpetual wanderer at heart by way of disastrous upbringing. He currently works in the construction fields, but his heart will always be that of a Naturalist and considers animals rights and human rights as his passions. He believes in self determination, the age-old idea of charting one’s own course, and freeing of the yoke of tyranny and oppression. He looks up to Plato, Oscar Wilde, George Washington and Booker T. Washington to name a few and will forever be chasing their ideals.
His piece in this year’s show was inspired by one of the cornerstone’s of his personal belief structure: humanity. To the artist, capturing it in the wild seemed like a logical place to start 16 years ago. It's elusive but can be found sitting by itself pondering on a side street light years from the hustle and bustle of main street. It's through body language and the eyes. That's when a real photograph comes into focus. You're merely witness to someone’s innermost self on display. Vulnerable, raw. Homegrown to the artist is looking into the eyes of the soul of someone’s son, daughter, sister, brother, mother, father, and simply saying as a fellow Oregonian, you're not alone. I see you, I feel your pain and plight. We can do better.
