Resume
During the years of the pandemic, while we have all been in a holding pattern, I've helped decorate guest houses and home offices with prints of my paintings in California, Ireland and Woodstock, New York.
Katie, 16x20"
Dinner Out, 46x48"
Uncertain Future, 9x12"
Lost in a Fog, 9x12"
Fishing in Niue, 12x18"
There seems to be a theme with my portraits.
Maybe they speak to, shyness and the privacy we all crave, but rarely experience.
Painting needs solitude, marketing them requires putting oneself and the work into the world for public approval.
It's a balancing act that I believe many artists struggle with.
