"If you look behind a good artist you'll see square miles of canvas."
I started on my professional artpath by Faux Finishing and painting murals in clients' homes....hoping to get those 'square miles' behind me! I took workshops at 'The Finishing School' on Long Island NY, and then studied mural techniques from the set designers of the Metropolitan Opera in NYC, I've included a few examples of my decorative painting in my blog and believe me when I say that whatever an artist puts in his toolbox is pulled out whenever it's needed!
Clients were always challenging me, first by requesting mural elements and then more decorative finishes. I studied floral painting techniques and then started taking intensive workshops at the Cape Cod School of Art in Provincetown, studying color and impressionistic portraits. I got the portrait 'bug'...it's like a Pandora's box, once opened you can't get it shut...
So after studying the form and color, I am now concentrating on the concept of painting 'light' ...
