Rusty Gladdish - Painters

I am an Outsider artist.

Making art is my passion.

For me, painting began as a hobby, transmogrified into a therapy and finally emerged as an obssession.

My art is how I define and express myself as a human being. I am completely self taught. My painting is spontaneous, cathartic and without discipline.

I paint my dreams and whatever stimulates my imagination. I paint because I have a need to do so and both the interior and external world inform and influence my art.

Colour is the only language I can speak fluently. It tints my moods and emotions. Matisse and the Fauvists are my super heros. When Vincent Van Gogh said 'The only time I feel alive is when I am painting', I know exactly what he meant.
