About Me I'm in the Army now. I'm a medic. I don't paint as much as I would like but I make it work.
Statement I make oil paintings on translucent surfaces which allows the option of incorporating lighting solutions. By combining lighting with paintings, my work can be considered functional as well as aesthetic. I also still do regular oil paintings just because sometimes I miss using opaque colors, but I stretch satin instead of canvas because it's a much finer surface and it's actually less expensive. I also like drawing with graphite and ink.
Education December 2010
Associate of Applied Science, radiography. St. Catherine University.
May 2008
Bachelor of Fine Arts, painting. University of Minnesota, Twin Cities.
Biography I started painting and drawing consistently when I was 14, primarily as a result of boredom and curiosity. I discovered a box full of my dad's old oil paints from the 70's stashed away in the basement one day and ever since then I've been painting with oils. I've come a long way since then mostly by being very experimental. I made my biggest developments in my senior year at the U of M 2007-08 and I feel like I've refined my techniques most significantly throughout the time that I had an uptown studio all to myself to work and live in, which was between August 2009 and May 2011. Someday I will finally have the space and materials I need to work to my full potential, I just have to do some stuff for the army first.
