Jes is a rock climber and figure model that I met at Hipbone Studio. She sat for me before I left Portland, we did a trade, art for modeling. She’s very muscular and has a very defined back. She’s a joy to paint and I recommend her highly.
"My work explores the connection between the artist and the model, the energy exchanged between the two. It's about emotional response, tactile, visceral, abstract, created with a limited color palette, leaving the brush strokes and drips raw and unrefined. It's as much a conversation as a picture, a snapshot of emotion, a thread running between the observer and the observed. Connective Tissue."
