Artist Statement:

Chase Hunter

When I draw I am reminded that possessing a natural aptitude or skill in any field is crucial to succeeding in today’s harsh job-market. It is to my advantage, I realized at an early age that achieving the protégé status is only obtained by dedication and endless hours of hard work.

I begin a piece by doing a multitude of planning and researching of various methods and ways to construct my artwork. Consequently, That is followed by a lot of sketches in my sketchbook. This process aids me to work out a visually appealing composition that attracts the viewer’s attention. The sketchbook process is notorious for deciphering through the good and the bad ideas. A great way to think about the process of making art: Plan, Make, Display, and Discuss.

When my work is going well, I gain a heartening sense of inspiration and gratitude that my practice and fine-tuning of my techniques and skills are inevitably paying off.
