¡Feliz cumpleaños, Cajal! (1 de mayo de 1852) Hoy tomemos el tiempo para disfrutar de los placeres simples del sol, el aire fresco y los árboles. Y a todos, espero que tengan buena salud y seguridad durante este tiempo inusual.

Artist Statement, general: I
work in my studio everyday, and drawing in my sketchbook is an important aspect
to my daily routine. It is how I know and relate to the world. Some
days I make one drawing, other days I make as many as ten. These drawings
often are of my immediate surroundings, like the landscape, or of people I know.
There are too many of these drawings to post on my web site. I
routinely post a sampling of these on drawings on my blog: dawnhunterart.blogspot.com.
Aside
from my sketchbook routine, I engage in long-term projects that manifest as a
thematic series. I am drawn to compelling subject matter, and subjects
that have a strong identity or familiarity to the masses within culture.
Details found within the information, facts, and
references are
mutually exclusive from artistic expression, interpretation and content
conceptualization. There are many tellings/retellings of Cinderella. The
basic information is the same in each story. What is
important in each retelling are the details and the context in which the subject has been reconceptualized- How is the same content focused differently? What details remain" How are the details organized? How do new ideas sit next to one another to generate a new perception of experience rich in its own unique and highly identifiable textures? Reconceptualization is important because that is the tapestry of insight that makes the retelling of Cinderella significant or not.
I, therefore, find it important to begin researching new subjects within my art through a sense of intuition and inference while examining facts. Through the creative process, I like to investigate, discover, reconsider, and explore. I find that by doing so, I can expand a dialogue and delve into new territory I, therefore, find it important to begin researching new subjects within my art through a sense of intuition and inference while examining facts.

Statement about research in Madrid: Aside
from researching the Cajal
Legacy while in Madrid for my Fulbright Fellowship, I would regularly walk and
draw the routes that Cajal
walked during his lifetime. My goal was
to view the environment as much as I could through his eyes or perspective
within his day to day routine. I
deliberately selected trees that were in existence at his home, his places of
work, Atocha, and
Retiro Park
during his life time. I, therefore, find it important to begin researching new subjects within my art through a sense of intuition and inference while examining facts.
