| About the Artist | |
I started painting when I was 10 years old and haven't stopped making art. Trained as a traditional oil painter, my first love was portrait painting. Today my work is mixed media, egg tempera with occassional forays into video and ephemera. Drawing, landscape, the figure, the picture plane continue to be my foundation. My inspiration comes from dreams, art materials, brush strokes, a color experience, accidents and things seen and almost seen from the corners of my eye, memories. Building up and breaking down, zen, time, change, process, breathing, these are the things of my art. |
