This work in progress started as a dream. I work up and make a few sketches, after researching what my dream-lizards looked like. Like most dreams it faded away fast, but colors and spikes stayed behind. I enjoyed making these two creatures, in sync and moving with one another.

This work in progress started as a dream. I work up and make a few sketches, after researching what my dream-lizards looked like. Like most dreams it faded away fast, but colors and spikes stayed behind. I enjoyed making these two creatures, in sync and moving with one another. I don't paint as many animals as I do humans, and this was a change of pace. Like my dream, I kept the colors complimentary, orange and green on a small canvas. The lizards looked tight but happy on this space.

Oberlin has always been an artist, developing a love for fountain pens at an early age and deciding to train both hands to draw. They had heard adults talk about a spooky thing called ‘arthritis’. The artist is now ambidextrous.

Oberlin began having seizures and was diagnosed with epilepsy during their freshman year of college. Art helped tremendously. 

Some of Oberlin’s paintings come from sketches. Some of the paintings are scenes and shapes that mutate from color. The commonality is expression. The sketches themselves come from dreams and conversations. Some of these ideas have ruminated for months or years. Others happened in a flash.

Any of the art that you see may have since been painted over, traded, donated, given away, eaten, burned, buried or destroyed.
