Description
As someone who plays the guitar often, the guitar tends to find its way into my art from time to time. While I was brainstorming new scenarios to act as the basis of new paintings, I thought it would be funny if a couple of the aliens saw one of the humans playing the guitar and wanted to know how to play it themselves. I liked the idea because, while most of the other paintings in the series show the humans learning and growing in the alien world, this idea was one instance where that gets flipped around and the humans have the chance to offer something of their own to the aliens.
Whenever you are in a new environment, particularly when you're young, it can be easy to feel like you don't know anything and don't have anything to offer. This idea recalls the moment when you realize that you do have something to give to the world - even if just small.

There are many different "worlds" that exist within our human perception. These worlds exist physically, figuratively, conceptually and culturally, and our understanding of them is constantly changing and evolving as we each gain new experiences and learn more about the different worlds around us. It is inevitable at different points in our lives that we'll be faced with entering worlds that are outside of what we already know. This could mean beginning a new career path, moving to a new city, joining a new club, adapting to a new culture, or graduating from school and entering the larger world.
"Weirdos of Another Universe" is a series of paintings where I've decided to explore the “what ifs” of an imaginary situation where a small population of humans suddenly exist within an alien world. This series is about the feeling of being an outsider after having entered a new world, and gradually figuring out how to find your way in. This narrative sits at the core of the series, and each painting serves to either further explore this narrative or to further build the world within which it is taking place.
