What is an artist: some one who think's outside the norm, than everyone else; pushes the boundries of space,time and emotions of the soul."

Artist Statement of Jacob D. Hostetler "The Images I create our my curse, my love, and my destiny that keeps me sane, in this insane world." There are many ways one can define oneself. For me, it’s with art, and anything dealing with art. According to my Grandfather, I have been drawing since I could hold a pencil. My feeling is that anything I did under the age of five was just scribbles on paper. Nothing art worthy anyway. As a child drawing was my safety net, my escape from the trials of life as a kid. My whole family was painting plaster at one time or another. There was this crafts / plaster store down the street, the whole family or at least mom, my brother, and my aunt, where painting there. My mom and my aunt were teaching basic painting classes there, on the weekend, so that’s where I grew up, in a craft store, in a painting class. In closing: there is none; for this will be left open, in order for me to close this Bio, would be like me saying I have nothing left to say as an artist, as a man, and as art student. I’m just getting started!
