My latest painting. This tree looks like it was literally pulled from the earth and is suspended in air. To the lower right are two balloons lifting a ladder upward. Some may see the tree as a kind of dream to reach or strive for. The balloons represent the will of the person to reach there. Very colorful and has great texture in the tree and unearthed roots. A modern contemporary impressionistic painting. My dream is to ascend to that level that when a person searches for today's top contemporary artist that I may be included. That's a very ambitious goal. There are thousands of great artists out there. I try to have a unique voice "style" but what I hope elevates my work is the symbolism or better yet, for the emotions it stirs in the viewers. I seek to pierce the veil over nature to reveal the Divine's symphonic movement of Light and music that others may hear through their eyes and into their hearts. - Stefan Duncan, April 15, 2015

I just had the epiphany of my life. You ever have one of those moments when suddenly everything in your life comes together to a kind of fate....or journey down a path that you realized had been mapped out for you long before you took your first step. Angel Oak is that for me. Lol.... it all started with the tree...the one I slammed into in a car accident that put me in a coma. It took me on the path to become an artist. And the first painting I ever did back in 2001 or s o of "The Glory Tree" go figure... was of a tree with a glorious sun, an oak tree...go figure. And here I am 16 years later, from a guy just beginning art in a very late start, to be posting of a photo of Angel Oak, that seems to have revealed to me a vision of my spiritual faith. From a little newspaper editor of a small town in North Carolina, I become one of the world's top contemporary artists with a spiritual mission started 16 years ago, and today...I have my epiphany that this journey I begin from
