I have been painting for fifteen years. I am intending to use model Mayhem to find persons willing to pose for painting and other forms of art. I hope to set up a figure painting group as well as design my own work using the figure. I use a broad range of styles of painting. I often use techniques used during the Renaissance with a mix of modern ideas. My work is sometimes gestural other times I might need long poses. My work often speaks to the ephemeral or the sculpturally concrete. My inspirations tend to come from classically handled paintings but they also can come from any genre of art including sculpture and music.
