I am a mid-west U.S. artist/musician. I have worked mostly with oils in my paintings. I also draw, do printmaking (woodblock, some litho, and aquatint). I enjoy oil because of extended dry time, the way it can be manipulated and layered to create a rich surface. Most of my work is realistic but I try to go beyond simple photo-realism. I like to add a little interest in some way, maybe by using reflective or transparent surfaces, portraying the way light reflects off or through glass for example.
