We are going to travel back to when we were kids finger painting in art class. Long before we were expected to create masterpieces on the skin 100% of the time. Back when we could explore our medium without worrying about the outcome. My goal is to help artists enjoy the process of learning without the stress and anxiety. This seminar is about finding your unique voice as an artist. While I will offer a live demonstration in reductive oil painting, the process itself is left open to experimentation and play, which encourages exploration and individual style. Why do you make the marks you make? When you remove fear and hesitation from the equation, what do you create? I will hone in on a few skills to assist each artist in finding their way, but overall I encourage all attendees to approach the medium with an open mind, ready to carve out a process that works best for them. My goal is to guide each artist into finding a process and individual style that they can carry across all mediums.

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.
