                                               Combining Western Themes and Urban Art

I've brought my modern urban art from Phoenix, AZ and adapted it to Montana themes to 

create a great marriage between the two.  And yes, they may seem to be unlikely bed partners, great marriages often come from opposites.

"Remember When" by Corey Couturier

                                                                                   "Remember When" by Corey Couturier. 2013.  Mixed Media on Canvas.  size: 5ftH by 6ftW

"Remember When"  is a painting I did while living in Northern Montana in the winter of 2013.  I was born in a small town in Northern Montana by the name of Chester, and was raised in Chinook.  All these little towns in Northern Montana sprung up along the tracks of the Great Northern Railroad.  Unfortunately all these little towns are gradually getting smaller and smaller as time goes on.  Eventually, perhaps the only reminder of these towns will be some ancient graffiti left on a wall somewhere.  As I was contemplating the fate of these little towns, I realized that the cemeteries of these towns are filled with my family and relatives, and that one day I myself may be laid to rest in one.  I realized that my life here on earth is going to end someday.  This piece is my cry to "not forget me."  The symbols and words and dates are important to me, like July 20, is the day I gave my life to Jesus.  There are other hidden things in this painting as well.  My hope is that it will speak to each  person in a different and profound way.  In a way, it's my way of making my mortality last beyond my life.  Enjoy!!

Push yourself into new dimensions

This piece is my latest adventure that required much patience and perseverance to finish.  It is an attempt to fuse new and old together, folk style and fuse with architectural elements.  It's more of
a wall sculpture than a painting.  It has depth, light, reflection, and fun.  My art will be featured in a gallery in downtown Phoenix in February, and I'm hoping to give something they've never seen before.  I'm shooting for that "WOW" factor that will be both fun and crazy. 

It's all about the creative process

When I took an online test a few years ago to see what my profession should be, the number one recommendation was that I was suitable to be an Inventor, and the number two answer came up that I would be suitable as a graphic designer.  Both things are all about being creative, which is what I love.  Whether it be inventing a new board game, or a new painting, or even a new way to successfully trade stocks, I get my kicks creating stuff that others can enjoy or benefit from.  For instance, today I found a program online that enables a person to create their own font.  I got excited because for a long time I've wanted to create my own fonts for the greeting cards I design.  It was very easy to do and a lot of fun to see the results, and be able to type on the keyboard in my own handwriting.  Very Cool.  You should check it out.  It's called "YourFonts" and it's a great way to use those creative juices to make something really Cool.  I'm planning on using it to create a number of different fonts.

God Bless--

"Wet Willy"

$550.00

Original painting in acrylic on studio canvas 24" by 24"                           

I remember when I was younger, we used to give each other "wet willies", in which you put your finger in your mouth, get it good and wet with saliva, and then you put your finger in someone else's ear.  I hated to get "Wet Willies" but on the other hand I enjoyed giving them to others.  "Wet Willies" are irritating, and yet at the same time indicate a closeness in a friendship that you could even get away with something as gross as that.


I like to see the humor in things.  Last night I went to First Fridays to view the art displayed in the various downtown galleries in Phoenix, and mostly all I saw was darkness and despair, paintings of houses burning down, murderous scenes, skeletons, coffins, etc.  And while I appreciate all kinds of art, I think we must be cautious about the things we surround ourselves with.  Art is powerful stuff, able to affect our thoughts and moods, and feed our emotions, either positive or negative.  I have made it my goal to be uplifting in my artistic endeavors.  I would like to see my art make someone smile, or give someone hope, to inspire someone to do or become something greater than what they are right now.
