they call me raz

Painters - some people call us artists.  We know that isn't all there is to being a painter.  Although I am a capable artist with many areas of interest, my specialization is painting.  I am most comfortable in front of an easel with paint stains on my scrubs and ten to twenty brushes active simultaneously between my hands, teeth, canvas, and palette.  A fact of which most people are unaware:  Painters border on OCD.  (at least the good ones do)

raz - its a nickname.  Of course nicknames usually have meaning or reason behind them, this one is no different.  Most people who call me raz know me as an online SA/SI/ED teen counselor.  Other people know me as the anti-poet.  Its the same thing.

Controversy

I've been influenced by a lot of people and places, here are a few I favor.

In most art today there is an element of controversy.  If it isn't immediately evident, people go looking for it.  I'm not sure I agree that all art today has to be controversial.  I do feel strongly, however, that it has to say something about its creator.  Maybe that is the controversy people are looking for.

Communities & Forums

There are open spaces and secure places.  My mind is both, and my paintings are my reaction to my personal interaction between them.  Remind yourself about the OCD factor in a Painter's repertoire and then view the work in my galleries. I have an interactive journal that most people ignore, but if you want to add to it, you are more than welcome.
