Artist Statement hello gorgeous world !! I am brad ,an artist of many disciplines .
I was born in Austin,Texas and have traveled to Australia ,Santa Fe,N.M.and Costa Rica in pursuit of inspiration.
i attended university under professor H.Zonker @ Sam Houston State
Went to chef school and became a massage therapist, So when people ask i tell them i am a visual,healing,and culinary artist .I have worked for governors and former presidents pushing paper,...i have been a hard core drug user/seller ,now three years sober , and i have worn many hats in between .last Nov. i had a very successful found object art /photo show light bulb !!!,those attending liked and purchased the found object stuff that had some of my pix in them gained a tremendous response as did the photos solo,i was like wow!!!, things need to change .
tired of it ,doing other things to support my art,...NO NO NO do art to support my sanity, i'm 46 now wisdom or failure ,call it what you will , I am ready to show the art to the world,strange ,"that" is scarier than driving cross town with a trunk full of heroin,but here goes,...thank you ,warmest reg.J.Keys All my peers have told me i should be doing this i hope you all agree. PEACE JAMES KEYS
