Art by Art

My name is Art Gomez, born in California with Apache blood lines from Arizona... However, I have been a resident of the south for 13-years; starting in Georgia and ending in Charleston, South Carolina where I call home.

Although I toyed with drawing as a child, by high school that talent was shelved when I became a father at sixteen. In short, I never realized my art potential until my Army infantry days at eighteen.

Before going overseas, in my barracks, I created a caricature poster with color pencils that a high-ranking officer saw, which he purchased for his daughter. Although I offered the art piece for free, the officer handed me $35—and ordered me to take it!

After raising a family, I finally found the time to indulge more actively in my writing and painting passion. And although using a paintbrush has come naturally, I'm still trying to discover my true forte. Until I find my niche, my art inspiration surfaces when I witness the reality of life, or the influences of the entertainment world and politics...

My work has been on display in numerous venues in Georgia and South Carolina. Selling three paintings at my very first show in Georgia in 2011—the year I learned to use paints! My most recent show was at Charleston's City Gallery at Waterfront Park in 2017.

Besides this home-page, see additional photos of my art on pages 2-5. You can also find some of my paintings currently on exhibit in Charleston, SC at ZIA; and in Lexington, SC at Keg Cowboy Cafe on Main St.
