I love the human figure, the strong backbone and shoulders as it has been my journey to be a pillar to help others to overcome trauma and the deepest grief. Fine traditional oils on canvas is my favorite as a fan of the old masters and the foundation of my signature work. Charcoal and layered oils are my favorite mediums with a twist of integrating mixed media texture and collage in the underpainting. Impressionistic abstract realism is my favorite style with a dash of other worldly etherealism.
Where do you find inspiration?I am strongly drawn to figures and statues of the Greek era with all the drama and beauty of that time. When I cross paths with a certain statue in a park setting, I look deep into what the sculptor was trying to express. Most statues were from live models who no longer are part of this world so I attempt to bring their energy back to life with color and imagery in a way that the present world can reconnect with. Merge the past with the present, break away time; grow, reconnect and evolve.
What would you do with $25,000?It would all go right back into art creation, collaboration and supporting the local artists. Ultimately, it would be a dream come true to start a local collaborative salon right here in Tampa for local working artists to thrive at in a new renaissance era.
