Figure Abstractions Spring 2007

Here are some images of my most recent work: from the spring of 2007. Unfortunately, I spilled tea on my computer, so I am missing a lot of images of my best pieces. So we will have to make do with the images I had managed to back up on my computer before my lamentable incident. Enjoy!

I. Drawings In the spring I started going to more drawing classes, studying with Bruce Gagnier, Ophrah Shemesh, Stanley Lewis, Nick Lamia and Ron Milewicz. I also took a drawing marathon with Graham Nickson.

Chelsea Market Paintings Fall 2006

Hey there, it's been forever since I've posted on my website, but here it goes. This past year I've been studying drawing and painting at the New York Studio School in New York. The school is truly a unique place, which emphasizes long hours in the studio, working from the model and learning from a tradition of master artists. In the fall I am beginning my MFA at the Studio School and am truly excited about it. The next few posts feature some of the work that I've done in the past year. Enjoy!

Many of these oil pastel drawings are from a drawing marathon I took with Carole Robb. Every day for two weeks we made plein-air oil pastel drawings at the Chelsea Market.
