The one thing I can say about this artist is that his work is hot, hot, HOT!!!
I first viewed Wesley's work on a visit to in Bowie, Maryland and was impressed by his use of colors and imagery. I also had the pleasure of meeting him during the Collecting and Decorating with Art Workshp in March.
I hope you will find him and his work as compelling as I did!
Where are you originally from and how long have you been an artist?
