Visual Art – St. Louis

I am 24 years old. A self taught painter. I started painting at 18. with acrylics and paint brushes. After a family trip to Florida at age 20 I was inspired by a local artist, Justin Gaffrey. He paints very large and very thick. I started painting with the tools and paint he uses. (pallet knives and Heavy Gel Gloss mixed with Acrylics!) My paintings now stand 1 inch off the canvas or more. giving a 3D look. full of texture
