Ah, the paint. While I enjoy the sculptural aspect of cutting styrofoam, applying canvas and papier mâché, I couldn't wait to get to the painting. Even the under-painting allows me to play with composition and color. At first I was tempted to paint this piece in a realistic manner. Then I remembered one of the strongest critiques one of my professors had about my early work: that I didn't have a personal style. Now that I've moved more towards abstraction my work is more alive. I think we all have a period where we are searching for our individual expression. This is not to say that the search ever ends, in fact it is always ongoing...
