Artist Statement:
In my work I try to portray
the romantic as well as the
asthetic.Most of my work is
figurative and
representational.Using texture
,color and delicate variations
of shading I hope to capture
the essential aspects of my
subject.
I was educated in New York at
the Art Student's Leauge and
The New York Academy.I also
attended The Pennsyvania
Academy.Acedemic and classical
realism has always been my
greatest sourse of
inspiration.
The primary medium I work in
is colored pencil.It allows me
to explore subtle textures and
shades of color.I often work
from digital photography as my
starting point.I am never
without my Sony Sure shot
5.0.Often times when I am out
for a local drive or RV-ing
cross country,I'm clicing away
to get a large reference
file.When I'm back home in the
studio I work out my
composition on the
computer.After I've worked out
a pleasing composition I
transfer a line drawing onto
Mi-Tientes acid free pastel
paper.I prefer working on the
warm gray tones.Later I render
a grisaille under drawing or
titanium white and dark gray.
