"As an artist Easley sees himself first and most importantly as a professional obligated to maintain those standards laid down years ago by the Greek and European masters. And second, with the freedom of those standards he searches for inspiration to create meaningful and when possible, beautiful long lasting works of art. From miniatures to detailed architectural landscapes painted in oil, to exquisite watercolor nudes on paper, to "extreme expressionism" and abstracts rendered with acrylics, Easley never fails to captivate. Easley is a master not of one discipline, but of diversity. He is, in my opinion, our first 21st Century artist." -- Zannah Castaneda, Art Critic/Writer/Journalist (Encinitas, CA)
