ARTIST STATEMENT My work stems from a deep rooted love of nature and history. I follow in no one's footsteps; what I present as art is a presentation of my inner vision. My work is highly influenced by my lack of formal art education, and living a blue collar life. I am an optimist, and this is what I want the viewer to get from my work. I make decisions solely from my own gut reactions. I select my themes from my personal everyday life experiences. I work in the medium of Photography because that is what fits best into my full lifestyle. I started this journey as a child growing up without siblings near my age, or television. At 53 I have come full circle by realizing my greatest personal satisfaction lies in sharing my values of life it self. As my life advances through the natural stages, my work will reflect this. I will continue to improve the visual appeal of my work through the study of art design and theory. If my work enriches one moment of the viewers life , I have succeeded. Harold Brown P.S.
