Details
In the beginning, observation is everything. Eventually, a reliance on observation can become a hindrance that holds us back as representational artists. During this seminar I will show you how to create a composition with a powerful sense of focus by only painting with pure abstraction. Then we will translate that abstract composition into a representational painting—from pure imagination.
Details
I often combine organic and inorganic elements, blending form and function to create three-dimensional art that is both captivating and unsettling — expressing the beauty and mystery of renewal and death.
