JASON PIERCE

"As an artist, you take risks that open yourself up to being judged, criticized and ridiculed. I have been asked questions like "do I do drugs" for inspiration or have heard comments like "what the hell goes on in your mind". My simplest answer is that no I don't do drugs and I don't know what the hell goes on in my mind. I put the pencil down and just create. I never know what the picture looks like before it gets done. Typically I do not have a clear objective or statement that I am trying to make. I think it is more important to me to convey an idea or narrative. I want the viewer to stop, look and contemplate. If I can do that, than I feel like I have done my job as an artist."

In the last 6-7 years I have shown my artwork in Redlands, Ontario, Riverside and Pomona. I have been in group shows and solo shows. I have been lucky enough to have had a few articles in the paper, recently being shown in the Highlander (UCR paper). I have sold pieces ranging from $30.00 to $1,000.00.
