Cory Gavin found solace and healing through art, realizing that painting and creativity served as therapeutic outlets. The transformative power of art became evident when a piece born from pain was sold, revealing that others saw beauty in the depths of struggle. Influenced by dark artists, unconventional thinkers, friends, horror movies, cartoons, and strong female characters, Cory's inspirations reflect a diverse and eclectic mix. From Mike Flanagan to rule breakers, these influences shape an artistic journey that embraces the unconventional. Cory explores a wide range of mediums, utilizing acrylics, spray paint, resin, and anything that sparks creativity – even the kitchen sink finds its way into the artistic process. For Cory, art is more than a passion; it's life-saving. The profound impact of art on personal well-being resonates, with the sentiment that art, quite simply, saved a life. To aspiring artists, Cory offers a timeless piece of wisdom: Art is subjective. Embrace the uniqueness of your work, ignore criticism, and take pride in your creations. Someone, somewhere, will undoubtedly connect with and appreciate your artistic expression.
