Andy King
From Gallatin, TN, I forged a deep connection with visual art at an early age. I have always drawn and created. I continued my passion throughout my schooling. In college, at Sewanee, I found a love for teaching art as well. I have been teaching in primary and secondary schools since 2004 and in the Nashville are since 2005. Early on, teaching posed a creative block for me. I was emotionally and creatively drained after putting most of my creative energies into others' artworks. After a long break, I began creating my own work consistently again a few years ago. My art has become varied and broad in its approach as a result of wanting to teach new things. I continue to expand my abilities to teach different processes to my students. Naturally, these tangents play into my own artwork as I discover and play with new techniques and art forms. But what remains constant is a fascination with texture, stark value contrasts, and a reverence for the power of the individual mark as it all plays together to explore the human endeavor, and histories both personal and universal. I go back and forth in a tenuous dance between order and chaos in my works in order to live in the space between. My artwork is not clean and graphic. I find beauty and catharsis in the raw and visceral. I embrace the beautiful aspects of things not usually seen as beautiful.
