It turns out the nudes I did actually are more than symbolic of the feeling you get at soap lake. Apparently people still do bathe nude there on the west beach. Well they must have felt it so much that they actually still do it.
I hope this is a good thing for my show. As everyone knows you have to be able to relate to something to buy it.
I am a Northwest artist who is fascinated by faces and people. I work with a brush drawing of a face or human figure. Then I apply ink, paint and gel in various layers to create rich colors and textures. Along the way my images are painted, scrubbed, rinsed off, then ink and paint are reapplied until the final image is finally revealed. The process of discovering who the figures will become keeps me "intrigued and absorbed."
