About the artist

We are all painted with so many layers that shift and change with time and light. Our lives are like a poem. No two are the same, and all moving to somebody. I am Deci Spades. My story is one of many colors. A swirling mix of values, shades and shapes. I have been blessed and cursed, I have loved deeply, and lost astronomically. The sea that rolls and tears under and over the surface of me, is felt and expressed in each stroke on every canvas. Memories captured in the whispers of ghosts that mark the focal point of my expression. They are echos of things I’ll never say in words, and things I’ll never forget. I have struggled in my life, with speaking my mind when emotions are hard to explain. I have let things go unsaid, causing internal pain and confusion. Art has been an outlet like a vortex, ripping through my psyche and heart, and splattering what it finds into the art I make. It has been a journey of self discovery and unity. My hope, is to spread my silent words around like fog in the form of paintings. So that they may find homes on the walls and hearts of those that can hear their voice. My Ghosties, my material poems.
