If I am lucky, I can infuse some of the magic of these moments into a painting. It takes determination to finish every painting and determination to be a successful artist. Bolam's work is currently on display at Mother Nature's Gallery and James Harold Galleries in Tahoe City. You build up a body of work and a reputation for your skills, ability and knowledge. You have to have the vision as well as some economic sense.
Every product has to be marketed.
My pictures of landscapes and portraits are my own narratives and descriptions. They don't romanticize a nostalgic past, picture a glorious present or design a better future. The artwork becomes steps in the learning process of seeing, which is a constant change of awareness. Claasen's work is part of traveling group exhibit, the Yosemite Renaissance IVX, until February 2000. Materials contained within this site may not be used without permission.
