Welcome to Louie's Soup. Louie is my nickname. My close friends have been calling me Louie since I was a freshman in high school. I got the name from a school play I was in call, "Do Black Patten Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up." I played a character name Louie Schlang. Today even my friends parents call me Louie.

I decided to call this blog "Louie's Soup" because... well... I love soup. Its warm, satisfying, and has healing powers. I have a bowl of soup almost everyday. But it is more of an analogy for all the vast recipes I have for creating art. I enjoy creating art that has healing powers. A mixture of different art materials, concepts, and techniques that helps others deal with past, present, and/or possible future problems in their lives. Art that creates a social change. Change within ourselves and our community. My ideas have been greatly influenced by the Dis-Armor and Projection Works by Krzysztof Wodiczko. It was when I was introduced to his work that I was able to say, " This is where I have been trying to push my work."
