A self-taught artist, I make abstract, intuitive and impressionistic art. I create energy through my art, of real things but outside of the realm of realism and showing how I perceive that reality to be. I paint a lot of florals because flowers connect with my soul, occasionally working on landscapes and other subjects. I hope to spread happiness through my work. I am certain that they will bring positive energy for all who see and own them!

I am an outsider artist. I am self taught and use unusual materials in my work such as sheet rock and neon paint . My work is for me a spiritual path as I am now the artist called Billy the Kid Neon/Numen formerly just known simply as Billy the Kid Neon ( hehee). I became an artist when I was “Richard Dreyfussed” ( as in Close Encounters of the Third Kind) at Home Depot. I bought an 8′ x 4′ piece of sheet rock and with a neighbor’s help I set it on two saw horses and in a trance i did my first piece appropriately called “Future Numen.”. This solitary phase in my work culminated in my magnum opus “Yu Must Squeeze” – 7000 c.ft. installation .
Now I employ “fine” artists in my work and I think it is way better – not so rough and more accessible and now for sale and hopefully, placable. Thanks for your kind attention….LUV AND PEACE….BILLY

”I was born in s’Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands in 1954. I have been a lifelong doodler.My work is influenced by children’s toy’s, folk and indigenous art forms. I am an amateur painter and maker of things. But I spend most of my time doing this and I will continue as long as there are new things to discover….I like my works to be joyous, colorful with a kinetic feel. I’ll work with and on anything available, including old wood, cardboard and all kinds of wonderful junk,” writes John van Orsouw.

I’ll work with and on anything available, including old wood, cardboard and all kinds of wonderful junk,” writes John van Orsouw.
John meets all the requirements to be himself.
He is completely self-taught which is not to say that he is not schooled. His schooling,however,has been the museums, the ideas, the movies and the streets of urban life both in the U.S. (New Orleans, New York City) and in Europe including his childhood home in Holland. Presently he is selling his work in New York City. His recent exhibitions include the Outsider Art Fair in New York and Paris, The 6th annual Outsider Art Exhibition at Galerie Belage in West Hampton Beach, New York , Musee de la Creation France and van der Plas gallery in New York City.
John’s paintings are part child, part expressionistic brut, part music and part CoBrA. He is Dubuffet filtered through Rembrandt and Bosch via Karel Appel. He is, in the composite, pure John van Orsouw, a free spirit inspired by daily life, its sounds, its smells, its colors, its culture and its language. Spontaneity is his medium, like the jazz he celebrates in his work.
His work is playful – a carnival of bright, primary-colored toys which he then, like a magician, swirls through scribbles of motion and ends with a figure, an animal or a musical instrument. He plays with the idea that art is a toy and works the shapes into shape and superimposes, imposes and just plain poses these shapes within the spontaneous, organic and sometimes conscious scribbles, squiggles and doodles. it looks like John is having fun. And that’s the way he wants it to look.
When he is working, John is in the center ring of a 3-ring circus. He is the ringmaster for the clowns, cartoons, the blues, jazz and colorful men and women. Wild-eyed dogs, cats and birds roam freely through his field of vision. As ringmaster he snaps his whip and whips his performers into recognizable shapes but in the end they all have a life of their own. His work, like the playful circus of his imagination, has been created for children of all ages!

Hi! My name is Chelsea Chase. I consider myself a fairly new artist, at least with this type of medium, I feel that I have finally found my calling in the art world. I have always been creative and have tried my hand at multiple art forms. I actually had a portrait photography business for 10 years but I could never find a groove or style that really made me genuinely excited about my work. I was recently inspired by my best friend who is a 4th grade teacher who did an art project with her class using torn magazine pages. Through that I have found something that makes me truly unique and creates a richness and depth that really makes my heart happy.

Self taught artist who has been painting for 20 years. Most paintings consist of found objects on wood assemblages. The materials that I use are found pieces that I discover through the city where I live. I have shown in art museums and galleries throughout my career and have artwork scattered throughout the United States, Canada, Australia and Europe.

B. Lucy Stevens is an internationally recognized, self-taught artist living in Providence, Rhode Island. Lucy paints intuitively, her work is vibrant and expressionistic, daily life imagined in a brilliant cacophony of color and pattern. She is inspired by primitive and outsider art and her far-flung travels, from South America, to Indonesia to the South of France, where she lived for a year on a flower farm.
Lucy leads art workshops for children in underserved communities and for adults with developmental disabilities, and she is hugely inspired by their art as well. Her work has been featured in galleries and shows throughout the U.S. as well as in France and the U.K.
My paintings are everything I think and feel and witness, everything I find funny and sad and absurd. They are my offering of myself to the world.
I paint because I must. I paint for the memory of my daughter who loved animals.
