Over the last couple of years, I’ve stepped out of my “shell” and into a brand new me. I’ve spent a lot of time traveling, binging on any art museum I can find, and going to music and art festivals all over the US. I’m very passionate about the vibe there, the art, the music, and the originality of the people in the crowd. I’ve never experienced a place where there is so much love and creativity like some of the festivals I’ve been to. I’ve also never experienced an easier way to touch a crowd or communicate openly with so many people really trying to make a lasting and positive change in the world.

Since then I started surrounding myself with some pretty incredible artists who have in turn inspired me to tap into my own creative side. So a year or so ago, I started collecting supplies. Art supplies of all sorts, canvases, trinkets, and a bunch of “junk” and recyclables that I wasnt really sure what to do with. I had very little experience creating art and wasn’t sure exactly how I was going to express myself. I just knew there was an energy inside of me that was growing along with all of this passion inside of me. With the exception of photography, It took me almost a year for all of this energy to start pouring out of me in all sorts of ways. From painting, to building, to casting shadows on walls, the creativity has been flowing like I never would have imagined. And I know this is only the beginning.

From father, to business man, to artist, to inspiration. I live many “lives” and wear many masks. When I started, I had no intentions of sharing my art with the world. I just needed to create. Then the pieces of art started piling up on my walls and around the house. I was inspired to create a social media presence to share my artistic after a random conversation with my daughter. She inspires me in so many ways. And she’s inspired me to share my lives and all the twisted up beauty that comes along with them. I really hope she finds some joy and inspiration in my artistic journey as well!

So without further adieu… I present to you, The Twisted Lives Of Rowbear
