Welcome to Payne Art and Paris Dreams

Lately my art has been about Hoboglyphs or Hobo "codes".  I love telling stories through art and my CoBrA style of painting has been screaming HOBO to me.  I hope you enjoy my work.  

About me?  I'm from a small town in Kansas and I studied art history in Paris in college.  I study art in life.  And I'm a self-taught artist based in Los Angeles. When I started painting I drew lovely objects.  It took me a number of years before I cold learn to un-see reality and paint what I feel.

If you like to look at my art, then look.  If you want to buy my art, then buy it.  I will tell you that you are buying a part of my soul.  But don't ask me to explain that.

If you are interested in purchasing my art, please contact me 

I am proud to be the Featured Artist at Reflections Art Gallery, October 2013 and named "Most Evolved Artist"
