Autobio/Mission Statement

 Cubism Self-Portrait

My name is Roland and I am a junior in high school. I was born in South Carolina along with two sisters. Both of my sisters are younger than me, the older one is named Sarah and the youngest is Suzanne. If I had to choose a favorite it would definitely be Suzanne, Suzanne is ALOT nicer than Sarah. I also have a mom and dad. My mom works from home for an online library, My dad is an Oral Surgeon. I have two dogs named Mater and Silas. Mater is a five year old golden retriever and
Silas is a ten month old Rottweiler.

My hobbies consist of deer hunting, duck hunting, fishing, and shrimping. My favorite hobby is definitely duck hunting. My favorite time of year is when its time to break out the chest waders. I like to wake up early load up the boat and go limit out on ducks. My favorite sport is football. Although I don't play, I love to watch college football. My favorite team is the South Carolina Gamecocks.

I live on a farm in the Low Country of South Carolina. every spring me and my buddy Carter plant a garden in our front field and sell our produce to the local Piggly Wiggly. My farm is 80 acres and borders the Ashley River. On my farm hunting is the main attraction. Hunting brings our family and friends together to brag about their most recent kill. On the Ashley is where you will find me come duck season. The ducks we mostly go after is the wood duck. My grandparents owned the farm 30 years ago but when my granddad died they had to sell it because my dad and his brothers were in college and couldn't help my grandma maintain the land. they sold it to a doctor from Tennessee and he did a terrible job taking care of it. long story short, we got it back under foreclosure about five years ago and that's where I've been ever since.

              ART MISSION STATEMENT
My favorite kind of art is definitely drawings or paintings of wildlife.  I like to draw fish, deer, and ducks. My opinion of creativity is everyone has their own kind. I am better at thinking of fun things to do than something to draw. I am mostly a polo kind of guy but there is nothing more comfortable than a pair of blue jeans. I like to do crazy things that most people say they cant. I am a very creative person, I like to build things but mostly break them. You can give me PVC, duck tape, and a screw and I will blow your mind. My creativity is mostly redneck ingenuity.
