Artist Statement

"The image in my paintings are naturally occurring designs that stimulate creative and spiritual forces to reflect the beauty awaiting discovery within ourselves. My art traverses a course that mimics life's mysteries as well as life's discoveries. I enjoy exploring different perspectives, the subtleties of color, and using a visual vocabulary of vivid color. Over the years I have experimented with abstract ideas in terms of how shapes relate to each other and the role of negative space.

Copying images out of books, I started as an artist at an early age. My work is largely self-taught since high school art classes and a few college courses were my only formal training.

A native of Florida, I have developed a love for the versatility of growth and enlightenment as well as the full tenure of life's vibrant emotions. I have works included in numerous private and corporate collections in the Gainesville area.

Root means basic-source of all growth and potential which anchors the experience of whole thing and man-one manifestation of all humanity. While ROOTMAN is a name I gained playing high school football, I hope my art transcends such labels as African American or naive artist.
