Boggs the Time is Now: An Artistic Showcase

My pieces are primarily portrait-style drawings and paintings from pictures I have taken of my loved ones in candid moments. My mediums consist mainly of Bic pen, acrylic, and photography, but my true passion lies in pen illustration. There is beauty in the simplicity of using a pen, yet it can also be frustrating when a mistake is made. However, I have learned to embrace these mistakes and turn them into something unique and beautiful. 

Using a pen or acrylic to create requires patience and a willingness to accept imperfections and failures. I enjoy this challenge because it allows me to focus on the details and textures of my subjects and brings a sense of authenticity to my work. Throughout all the trials and tribulations, I am learning and growing to appreciate my work while reflecting on my life and the people around me.

About Me

I do what I do because you never know when things will change. This goes back to my feelings about taking time and people for granted. Because of this, I've learned a hard lesson about not appreciating what you have until it's gone. I want to create work honoring what matters to me most in the world, which is my relationships and our memories. 

My dad put me in art classes when I was eight years old, and from that point on, my love-hate relationship with art began. Art has given me opportunities I would have never imagined, from residences in Ireland to having my art displayed in exhibitions; learning and developing my practice has provided me with a space to reflect and grow. I have explored various artistic mediums but found my passion in creating art with pen, acrylic, and in the darkroom. I hope to continue developing and exploring my practice and creating art I love.
