"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."
My friend Quin Sweetman has a great room in her house where she keeps here studio. It’s a lovely French green with hardwood floors and a fantastic Lamp. We had our friend and fellow painter Catherine model for us on evening. I was in a mood to pain the room and this little cartoonish figure was the result. I’m afraid the graphic designer in me is showing in this piece.
