Artist Statement for Jerry Schwehm
|
|
|
I developed an interest in art at age 8 when I saw a TV program about Jackson Pollock. I did my first work using oils on stretched canvas. A colorful mess that hung in my family home for years. Throughout the years I took courses in college and at night. I did silk screen, wood carving, and a little painting. However, I became too busy to do anything more until I retired. I again took classes and did some assemblage from tree parts. Too bad but most rotted away in my yard. Finally in 1999 I began to paint my children from old photographs while taking a course in Drawing the Human Form. With encouragement from friends I have continued to paint trying to develop my own style. I hope there is something in my collection that evokes a feeling that I try to capture when I paint.
