If one were to ask what type of artist I consider myself I would say an eclectic visualist. This is because as an artist I’m always looking for new discovery and I create a variety of work from a traditional contemporary, modern to a digital tech style. I feel that artist like musician become categorized because it is easier for some one to market and package what you do.
I have been drawing since the age of five as long as I remember I always had a definitive interest for images, especially animation Sci-Fi and Godzilla movies.I would have never guessed that these childhood interests would spark my artistry as an adult.
My debut as an artist was at the Javits Center in New York in 1990 where I had gone by my artist name (KEM). I premiered my art work in the form of buttons and wearable art sportswear. I then realized that there was a market for my work with its style of vivid colors and animated expressions.
In 1992, I attended the Print shop of master printer Bob Blackburn, where I studied the basics of lithography and block printing. I'd done Gallery showcases in the south particularly in the state of Georgia where I resided for five years between 1996 to 2001 and had relocated back to my home town of Brooklyn New York in 2001.
At this point in my career, I shifted my gears somewhat towards the realm of education and became a visual arts instructor in New York City public schools. In 1999 I founded Artizfacts Visual Arts Specialist which has evolved to Artizfacts Studio Gallery.
