For Rodney A. White, anything has the potential to spark a new idea. Working with oils on panel, White seeks to replicate the rusting and decaying look of things around us: billboard signs, buildings, packages, and aging paper in particular. Many of his paintings come from what he experiences in everyday life and writes down in his journal or idea books.

Rodney White is a self-taught artist and a 1999 graduate of Dekalb Technical Institute in Visual Communications. He spends his free time painting mostly, but is always looking for a new and interesting project of any kind. Artists who have had influence on White include Sabrina Ward Harrison, Rik Catlow, Anja Kroenke, Tim Marrs and Ashley Wood among other fine and folk artists.
