Expressionist Artist Statement

Of

David LLoyd 3, Besides Experience and Technical Expertise,

show is that I never COPIED the work of other Artist.

So you may not find all my images to be happy,

there are many sides to life on this plain.

I find new incite in each piece I create,

and I carry that into each piece that follows.

However I paint, primarily to pleasure myself.

There are so many different things to express,

and so many different ways to express them,

so that I don't think I'll run out, in this lifetime!

I believe that since the invention of the camera, the role of the artist shifted

from copying to expressing what she/he sees. While I some times paint things that

are real, I paint them in unreal or altered states. It is creating

something new, that I get off on. And I hope that the joy I feel as I create each piece,

is passed along to every one who sees them.

I like who I am, and I am having fun. I see beauty everywhere!

Life is good! Aw Tiphareth!

My background is Art Reproduction. (Which I still do)

Well not really any more, it hurts to much to even paint.

About 1996, I lost the use of my hands. (Spinal cord damage )

from pedestrian vs hit and run car. (1985)

In 1998 I had neck fusion surgery on C-5,6&7.

In 2005 the Doctor wants to fuse the C-3,4 to C-5,6&7. I said no

and in September 2005 I got a Cannabis Recommend and so far

I can manage the pain without sitting in the corner drooling on myself,

learning to use my hands, again, is the most surreal experience of my life.

Although being A.D.H.D., dyslexic, and ambidextrous,

reality has always confused me!

For the most part, the paintings I am doing now, are Me playing with color,

The rest you can see for yourself. You don't have to think like me, just think!

By the end of 2007 I could no longer work due to the PAIN.The neck stuff never

the path as my neck. So now I can't sit much or for very long. So I pace

either. Some times I can't I can lean against a wall or a tall stool

position least painful is on my back with knees elevated. Some days it

But it's getting worse. You'd think the pain would get through all Morphine

how are you doin? Oh yeah everything Hurts all the time. I mean really
