CREATIVE
Sometimes, less is more. In my ongoing research, there appears to be a wide variation of the definition of “Implied Nude.” It’s mostly agreed that it means the model is nude, but no “private” parts are visible in the photographic image or artwork.
Beauty inspires me. I’m pretty sure I’ve posted on that a time or two. And I know I’ve declared as well that if I ever found anything more beautiful than beautiful women, that I would paint that.
Art and life are all about birth, rebirth, and beauty. That’s why this drawing is special (for me anyway). LOTUS represents a lot of change for both my muse and for me as an artist. LOTUS tells the story of transformation – turning life’s hard times and challenges into a thing of beauty, and the overcoming of obstacles that can sometimes detour or distract us from true happiness.
Enduring and timeless, my original paintings preserve and celebrate my ideals of beauty and honor the grace, strength, and complexity of the female spirit. I direct my creative energies at producing epic original fine art nude and figurative artworks on specially prepared canvas, metal, and mixed media. Most are painted life-size and larger, featuring a contemporary approach to the time-honored figurative and art nude genres. My imagery bursts out of traditional art forms, leaving viewers appreciating its beauty, detail, and sensual nature.
Embrace love. In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, here are a few ways to create a more romantic space that invites intimacy.
A while back – September 2012 specifically – I was interviewed by ModelsMania magazine for a feature article. I know I made mention of it then, but I only recently reached out and asked if I could share it with my readers here. They were very gracious in sharing and said “yes”, so read on for the complete story from 2012 – better late than never, eh? Enjoy.
Shades of Gray… you want 50 to inspire passion? Forget about it. I got 256.
There is an old adage that says things happen for a reason.
With the new year and my move into a new studio comes a renewed vision and spirit of creative energy.
Beautiful from any angle, Liz in ADROR takes pause by the window as light dances across her body, She is calm – simply waiting, pearls in hand, as the warm light embraces her. She waits with great ardor.
