Artist’s Statement Generally, I like my paintings to speak for themselves. I am motivated by the challenge of painting different subjects and using a variety of mediums to give the impression of texture and form on a 2-dimensional surface. When I paint, I usually work with my face close to the surface. I focus so closely on colors and shapes that when I step back I often have a “Whoa! That’s so cool!” moment. It’s magical to see how all these little bits of shape and color can create the impression of real objects. It is also very gratifying when people have a personal connection to my art. My greatest satisfaction comes when someone has an emotional response to a portrait that I have created specifically for them. I enjoy working closely with clients to ensure that the finished product exceeds their expectations. .jpg){kind=avatar} |
