About the årtist
- Hire me, Marine Corporal, kenneth james. An artist with aspirations of finishing a book about some criminals who basically stole my life, and every material thing, some 20 years ago, and how that exacerbated severe cPTSD etc, where i received no help for almost 2 decades before finally having my disabilities recognized by the VA as service connected.
- i, kenneth james, then became an artist, although, at the very first, for over 20 years, it was just to help m, an impoverished veteran who was homeless, and doing a full time job, just to not lose my life physically.
- After 15 years of therapy or so, one of my therapists seen my progress in doing all i could to stay -mental health- afloat she had been complimenting my therapy projects consistently, giving praise that i was talented and gifted. During that time, i created an installation in one of my classes, i had to switch from paralegal studies to art, as she said it would double as a therapeutic tool, so my endeavors was just to fill my days in hopes to stop suicide ideation and extremes debilitating severe depressive disorder, which totally was working to take me out.
- My therapist from PCC encouraged me to make my art public, telling me, with your disabilities and. Implications this may be the eonly professional path that i may have. So, over 700 pieces later, and several hundred writings later, i am here asking for help, to promote my art, give me opportunities and to hire me by buying any piece[s] of my art, and to maybe promote it or share it with friends and those you love, and or, those you hate as well. Who knows how the world works these days, but hopefully, we are all trying to do all the work we can to make it overall civil for all.
- More to come later… a work in progress
