Generally speaking, I'm one of the 6,692,030,277 humans currently living on the planet Earth. More specifically, I'm a banjo pickin, paint flinging, creative type who loves making something out of nothing. Some people look at a white piece of paper and see a white piece of paper. I look at a white piece of paper and see an exploding sun shooting shrapnels of ultra violet flower petals onto a barren landscape of dali-esque cactus people.

 

I currently teach Art at a middle school in Helena, MT. I've lived in Montana for most of my life, and I love it here because there is a lot of wilderness to explore, and not too many people to run in to when you're in the wild.

 

Unfortunately for me, most Montanans think that art is a poster of a majestic bison, elk, or some other large hairy mammal. My brand of surreal - paint what you feel at the moment - art doesn't appeal to the majority of the inhabitants of this fair state. Either that or I actually suck at art and I'm living in a egotistical delusion designed to make me feel better about the fact that I can't play football. Regardless of my talent, or lack there of, I enjoy creating art and doubt I will stop.

 

I'm also a self taught musician. I play guitar, banjo, mandolin, and piano. I play in bluegrassish band in town known as The Helena Buckets. I am big fan of acoustic music, especially those styles with deep American roots like blues, bluegrass, and jazz.

 

If you like my work and can get past the fact that I don't paint deer, please email me. Or if you're interested in purchasing artwork, hosting an art show, booking a musical gig, or any other art or music related business please email me at vicstylz@gmail.com
