The Works of LAURENCE WELLBORN My Philosophy Using my vivid imagination has been the most important element in the works I create as an artist. For this I am extremely grateful, for through the element of imagination, I feel FREE – free to create, creating atmospheres, other worlds, life forms, and design elements that exclusively come from my inner voice and vision. That freedom gives me confidence I can create something out of a simple circle, square, or triangle. On occasion, I use resources to help me express my ideas. Because my drawings take many many hours to complete (sometimes it takes a month or so). I spend time with my drawings, from there, metamorphosis occurs, one image leading into another, one connected shape to another, not knowing where my drawing will take me next. This is the Journey. Just like any kind of travel, one can never know what kind of experience one will have moment to moment. Many of my drawings for me have been this kind of Journey. I hope others who view my work will sense this. Of course, it will be their own Journey. In 1977, I graduated from Southern Illinois University with an art degree, emphasis in metalsmithing. Through metalsmithing, I've learned the element of patience, attention to detail & elements of design. This experience has been invaluable in my style of art today. The medium I enjoy the most is the pencil. Now that color is in my life, watercolor, acrylic and in my future works oil will create a new dimension for me. Hope you enjoy my world.
