About the Artist

My artwork explores the world of dreams, symbolism, mythology, various religious belief systems, the human condition and our shared collective consciousness with all sentient beings. My artwork is also strongly influenced by my own personal story, events from my life painted on canvas, filtered through a process of organic abstraction and emotion, and built with vivid color and esoteric symbols.

About the Artist

My artwork explores the world of dreams, symbolism, mythology, various religious belief systems, the human condition and our shared collective consciousness with all sentient beings. My artwork is also strongly influenced by my own personal story, events from my life painted on canvas, filtered through a process of organic abstraction and emotion, and built with vivid color and esoteric symbols.

The idea of the majority of my paintings comes to me all at once, in an instant. I jot the artwork down on a small piece of paper, and then recreate the artwork anywhere from a few days to many months later. This happens while awake most of the time. I believe it is my unconscious mind that creates these paintings, or taps into a source. I often learn a lot about myself, and the world I’m in from looking at my finished artwork.

I have been described as Naïve or Outsider because I am a self taught artist. I use acrylics, pen, pencil, pastels, and occasionally oils. I have also created various found-object sculptures. To date I have close to 150 works of art spanning 20 years.

My artist name is Skip Noah. My real name is Daniel “Skip” Myers. I was born in Florida and have lived in Dallas, Texas; Riverside, California; Honolulu, Hawaii; Biloxi, Mississippi; Hoboken, New Jersey and currently live in Austin, Texas. I’m a vegan, web designer, and proud father to 2 beautiful daughters.
