“Growing up in North Carolina, we are surrounded by trees and vegetation. My roots run deep here in NC, yet I often miss big cities I have lived in. This work is a product of intertwining my urban and suburban loves. ‘Never forget where you came from,’ my dad, a farmer in rural NC, always says. I swear I never will.” More of the artist’s work can be seen at http://greytheartist.wordpress.com.
