Artist Bio

My principle discipline is as a Draftsman. How one drafts their line work can convey a great deal of information to the viewer. After all you are our target audience, the viewer. Sometimes its far easer to make a quick sketch on a napkin. A few quick and simple lines arranged in such a way and you have way more information than if it was described to you with just words.

While most artist studied paint, color, & sculpture. My early education was in technical hand drafting, isometric, blueprints, perspective, etc. The way one constructs a set of blueprints has to be done in such a way to communicate information, to be read by the contractor, who constructs a building. It comes as no surprise as I have evolved in my studies in the Classical Arts that I approach my work as a Draftsman would. 

I love the foundations in paintings of the Classical Renaissance Artists. You start pealing way the layers. How was that painting constructed? How did that Artist compose this work? What is the Focus? How did the Artist draw your attention to it? What is the Story being told? By dissecting artists of the past you start learning the frame work for how these Artist used visual cues within there work(s) of art, that you just instinctively visually pick up on. 

That's the challenge. How does one construct to design, a painting, a sculpture, a building in the Classical Academic Ateliers of Arts and Architecture.  My artwork fallows that course and study in the 17th century French Academy; Ecole de Beaux Arts. That's the challenge.
