My name is Jose Noe Castro (Noel) and I am a self taught artist,living in West Michigan.
I discovered that I loved to draw early on in life. Since 2nd grade to be exact. I have many influences but the ones that you may be able to tell from my art work is my love for comics and fantasy books/artists. The Natural/Indigenous People’s (First Nation) world play a big part of that,as well. I have been reading comics since I was 12 and continue to do so,today. I love mythology,of all kinds, and you may see that in some of my pieces. What I selected to submit reflects my love for nature and all things primal and natural. With some fantasy mixed in. Please enjoy and be sure to leave comments and/or suggestions,so that I may continue to learn the craft. Thank you.

Wanting to capture the stillness,solitude,peacefulness and wildness of the forest, I created this piece on a gallery ready canvas.
