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 University and Lawrence Tech University.
There after, Courageous went on to study the discipline
of fine artistry from various global and spiritual sources. Courageous
is described by many as ethereal, and a 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.
Mission Statement
My mission is to thoroughly explore my extended universe. To breathe life into thoughts, and dreams so that they will exist as fresh, and tangible works of art that will stimulate the souls of mankind.
“Go, be ye of great courage, and creativity shall become your companion and servant.”
