Art Update

Since I recently graduated, I thought it would be a good time to give a little update on some of the pieces I've done in the last couple years. Enjoy!

I'm trying to get into the habit of sketching people when I'm out and about. I'm pretty solid at figure drawing but I can always get better. And gesture drawing is just fun.

Oh yes, that landscape painting class. I will say that my old apartment never looked this good in real life.

A large painting, about six feet by eight feet. Oils and house paint on unstretched canvas.

Part of a photo portrait series. I adore hands, largely because I come from a family who works with them a lot, whether it be construction, mechanic, or artist. Hands tell a story unlike anything else.

I don't have a picture of the actual piece on fabric, but this is a sketch for a piece I did maybe a year and a half ago.

My most recent painting, done about one year ago. Self portrait of me as a child. Unfortunately the colors in the photo do not look like the actual painting (which is 4x5 feet).

Analog photography print, self-portrait in character.

Right before I graduated I explored ink on fabric more. It's difficult to see the full impact but it's fascinating to me how the muslin moves, reacts to the ink (sumi and sepia), and becomes almost like stained glass against the light.
