My job requires me to be very precise, and painting gives me a great deal of freedom. It has been a good balance in my life. I paint portraits primarily. Two of the portraits I painted of deans of Fine and Applied Arts hang in the Architecture Building. Pictured are former deans Allen Weller, left, and Jack McKenzie.
Art needs to have a balance between making a statement and having an appeal.
Sometimes, all it needs is shapes and colors to make a statement. I may do some more portraits and landscapes. I might try to sell some work in the future. I would really like to take classes again in art. I recently took a class in figure drawing.
