Artist of the Week: M.Eugene


  M.Eugene is a high school friend and I really like his work....

   
 My art is primarily conceptual.  I work in varied mediums; sculpture, painting and most recently photography.  My interests in anthropology and psychology, coupled with years working as a nurse in the clinical setting have given me a unique perspective on life, death and the human experience. 
  
   
 I push myself to evolve new techniques and styles in my work through traditional and nontraditional mediums and combinations of these.  Non traditional mediums such as spray paint and ink markers are relatively new and artists have not had millenniums to evolve techniques with them.  I enjoy the greater possibilities in discovering new ground with them.  
     
While I have a wide variation in mediums and even technical approach a personal style has evolved over time which binds the work together.  I hope to never stay static in my work and continue to grow.  
   
 While photography is relatively new to me as a medium this style and creative approach is consistent in it.  My choices in concepts and methods of expressing them while exploring new aesthetic techniques is the same.  I was able to invest this last spring in better quality camera and processing equipment and am in the process of establishing my portfolio and evolving techniques. 
   
 There have been challenging times since leaving the relative financial stability of health care to pursue my art.  Even in the most difficult times I have not considered turning back.  I had earlier in life experienced a sort of calling to work in the healing arts.  I dedicated myself and became a competent and recognized professional in the field.  I feel the same degree of calling and motivation towards my work in visual/conceptual art.  
     
Art is a part of the human cultural fabric.  It inspires, teaches and flavors our lives. 

M.Eugene currently resides in Hood River, Oregon
