Most of my artistic training has been in drawing, painting and printmaking. (I also spent a short time working in video). My personal work tends toward expressionism (which might be another way of saying I don’t have the patience to be a realist). My day job is in advertising, where I juggle managing an art studio and being an art director/designer.
In one way or another, I’ve always worked as an artist, but I’ve never had so much fun creating art as I have as part of the 4traits. Creating art (not advertising) is a solitary process. Standing, staring at your empty canvas, tentatively applying that first brushstroke. It’s an immensely satisfying and individual process. But I’m a social creature. Creating a 4trait is about as social and eventful as art gets. Each and every piece is a collaboration between the 4 of us. We share ideas, vision, and technique, and we do it all without words. The art speaks for itself as it passes from artist to artist. Which, of course, allows actual conversation to be about anything-with each other or with our subjects. Laughing while we create art. Who would have thunk it?
WooHoo!!!!!
