Artist: Thad DeVassieTitle: Wanderlust Medium: Acrylic on hand-carved wood panel Dimensions: 8" x 9" x 1/2"Price: $300 About the Artist: Thad DeVassie is a multi-genre writer and entrepreneur working from the outskirts of Columbus, Ohio. In 2019, while writing a micro-memoir about his mother's battle with Dementia, he turned to painting when words became difficult. His contemplative work often examines dark places, figuratively and emotionally, where light eventually breaks through. With a writer's mindset, his paintings offer a new medium to tell stories, conveying scenes in which viewers can construct a narrative of their own. His paintings have appeared in literary magazines, art galleries and juried shows from Pittsburgh to Pasadena. A micro-chap, YEAR OF STATIC, contains micro prose alongside 11 original paintings and is offered as a free download (Ghost City Press, 2021). His collection SPLENDID IRRATIONALITIES (SurVision Books) was awarded the James Tate International Poetry Prize in 2020. You can find his words and paintings online @thaddevassie.
