"MCA Art & Graphic Studio" 

The name "MCA Art & Graphic Studio" for my freelance art business was originally birthed on a school-related field trip due to the rules for each one of us drafting and design students to make a name for either a company where anyone of us may have worked or a made-up name.  Since I already had experience as a freelance artist for an advertising agency and with my expertise of house portraits for various clients, the light bulb finally clicked. I wanted to call it by either my name or initials, plus adding an art and graphic related association.    Voila! Good idea at a great time.

I designed and painted onto an eighth of an inch thin plywood board advertising my freelance art and graphic studio.  I made the initials to be the largest so it can take at least fifty per-cent of the sign.  The large periods that are added between my initals are used for distinction.  My full name is located beneath the initials as one-eighth of that sign.  My other talents that are listed take three-eighth of this sign which are located at the bottom.

My business name was almost immediate; however, the logo took much longer since I was seeking an exact style that reflected my personality. I feel that my business cards and logo with the sign make it stand out with an added “pop”.

Back Creek Church Barn

"Back Creek Church Barn"

I love painting pictures of barns - especially when they give me that certain Americana feeling.  There are a majority of times when I pass this barn as I commute to work every morning.  On some mornings, I can see
such a beautiful and picturesque view while I am waiting at the light.  It took some time before I started painting this piece due to my study of this barn scene along with that silo with the cross on it.  What even makes this barn and its silo so special is that it actually belongs to Back Creek Presbyterian Church where it is located between the northeast part of Charlotte and Harrisburg  in North Carolina.  From what I have been told was that this particular barn was once owned by a godly farmer who gave his barn to the church. 

As far as the materials that it took to paint the picture of this barn is that I used a quite different type of paper which is the backing of a grasscloth wall paper.  It is not really unusual that I use unusual types of mediums because I want to add more feeling to that painting.  However, this type of painting added both warmth as well a certain feeling of nostalgia especially when it comes for me to paint a subject matter such as this and other barns.
