Statement
|
|
I cannot seem to stay in one place, mentally or physically. Art becomes this journey for me. It is continually changing, morphing, evolving. Just when I think I have it figured out it becomes something new. I am influenced by figures, fashion, faces, architecture, nature, abstract and expressionist art. I love Schiele, Klimt, Beardsley, Lautrec....I do everything from book illustration to fine art painting and photography, and sometimes when I am in the mood I do them all at once in montage works.
