I needed to live with them before writing. Masterpieces. Your gift — a constant reminder to get out of MY prison. You have no idea how much I needed ‘Expression’. It’s like you know me. You have shocked me with your intuition and shocked me into change. A change I need. You allowed me to create through you… to create my own reality. To see what no-one else can. To live with what I choose to live with. Mine — all mine.

What collectors say
Real words after the paint dried — and the light hit the wall.
I continue to repeat myself but I’ll say it again and again. This has been the most fun. Not many get to see their commissions videoed from start to finish. You have made it all happen and I’ll never forget it. You’re an amazing artist and a good friend as well.
We absolutely love the painting. I took this video outside to show all the beautiful, amazing colors you used to create it. The natural daylight makes it come alive! That’s Haleakala Volcano’s summit in the background. Thank you so much Seb. It’s really incredible.
I’m truly transported back to the place that the work depicts but even more the vibrant colors and light bring back the emotions I felt when I was there! I don’t have the words to truly express the gratitude I feel. I’m loving it!!! I definitely feel more emotions from it now that it’s here in person.

Lines I live by
Notes from the palette — paint, process, and a little poetry.
Love is a painting. Some areas are thick, some areas are being worked on today and some areas are vast and yet to be explored.
@Sebgowerart
Bravery in paint: Being able to sacrifice ‘what it is’ for ‘what it could be’.
@Sebgowerart
Mistakes don’t ruin art. Not embracing them does.
@Sebgowerart
A painting with a planned ending is a painting that never really lived.

If happiness was water, empty cups would fill while they poured.
@Sebgowerart
Don’t let the allure of a perfect result distract you. Strive for a perfect journey.
@Sebgowerart
Art reflects our reality. It also alludes to new ways in which to understand it.
@Sebgowerart
Even a silly robot can do ‘perfect.’ Your culmination of quirky defects is a huge flex.
@Sebgowerart
The photo is like an anchoring point. It stops me from going crazy. It’s more of a set of ‘guidelines’ than actual rules.

An epic paddle through silence and granite — the kind of place that ends up on canvas.
