Etchings for Lucian Freud

Working on some 18x24" plates of the kids inspired by the passing of Lucian Freud last year- he was a mentor for me- these are the beginning stages.

Back to drawings board

Starting some oils for the first time in close to 20 years. The smell makes me reminiscent of the Academy.

Carving the Tiger in Me

Not much longer to go before she is free and released to the world. My beautiful Beast.

Springtime in Maine

So...its been a rough two months...my father has passed on and my relationship took a terrible turn and now my Uncle has had a stroke and may not recover....its been like swimming against a raging sea and getting knocked in the face over and over. I have spent a lot of time alone, when I am not with my children and this has been hard, but somehow has strengthened me. I have grown determined to make something of my art and I will. I have a few goals left...so I am making new ones....in my recreational life as well. This will be the summer when I finally go camping, fishing and hiking. I have been reading a lot as well...and this is helping my mind make sense of the things I cannot comprehend, such as violence and behavioral disorders in people we love. My art is starting to evolve as well...I am carving a 5 1/2 foot tall tiger and I am beginning to get the silkscreen stuff down...and I am now able to do it all from home. T shirts and stuff will be coming soon and fierce.
