Biography Born in Detroit, Michigan. Courageous started creating art as soon as his motor skills began to develop. Renaissance, Dutch, and Pre Raphaelite paintings quickly caught the eye of a very inquisitive young artist. The grand illusions of the great masters would captivate, and pre-empt the study of architecture, at Texas Southern Univ., and Lawrence Tech Univ. There after, Courageous went on to study the discipline of fine artistry from various global and spiritual sources. Courageous works of art have been described by many as ethereal, and visionary. His compositions are created in a whimsical world that somehow evokes a familiar sense of nostalgia. The use of wood, mixed media, and old master painting techniques inspires many ideas to come to life in the forms of canvas paintings, murals, furniture, and clothing. Like the masters before him, immortalizing the spirit of a subject, or just simply telling the story as it was viewed through his eyes became a passion that would shape his destiny forever. Go, be ye of great courage, and creativity shall become your companion and servant. |
