About me:
I'm a painter. I'm very messy and like to walk around in wet paint. Art is therapy for my soul.
I like to paint people who aren't around anymore. To bring them back. Sometimes as I paint I can almost feel them breathing in the room with me. I wonder who they loved and what they have left behind. They remind me that life is precious - and fleeting.
I want my paintings to look like they've been hanging in the sun for 80 years and then dragged through a garage full of dust and motor oil.
I add tea to my brush water and keep it murky and dirty to help achieve this.
The series I'm doing now is of film stars from the 1920's - 1950's.
