We all have a choice. Some just realize it earlier than others. Be strong and use your skillz wisely.

My Mission:
To invoke thought and understanding of sometimes opposite points of view while using an ?in-your-face? style to help make awareness leading to a difference within today?s ?We see what we want to see? society.

John Hicks boldly makes a strong visual prologue in his acrylic painting ?Puzzle Me This?. The dramatic color tonality speaks volumes in the rather loosely grid like structure which make the pieces or puzzle parts work together. Using ?blue in the face? is appropriate in such a wonderful predicament.
~Larry Bradshaw

?Employing strong colors and a bold application of line, John Hicks? mesmerizing works convey a dream state, even as he takes a stance on controversial issues.?
- Ruthie Tucker
