What subjects will you paint?
I have an extensive background in head and neck anatomy
and specifically that of the skull base. However, I will entertain projects on any topic of human anatomy, physiology, histology, pathology, or surgical procedure. Research topics can be more challenging but don't hesitate to reach out with your ideas.
How long will it take?
2 to 5 months.
From the time that you are ready to begin the project it will take approximately 3-4 weeks for planning, research and contemplation. During this time we will discuss the size requirements, the color scheme, and materials etc. I will also be asking many questions in order to really understand what it is that you want. I will offer suggestions and might show some sketches or Photoshop files during this time.
After the initial planning phase the time frame will depend on size, subject matter, difficulty of the composition, painting style etc… I always give myself a minimum of two months for a painting and of course that could go up to 4 or 5 depending on my work load and your time requirements.
Visually, the work may look abstract...
but it is conceptual and is carefully considered from an anatomical and
physiological perspective.
I take pride in understanding the anatomy/physiology of a subject and rendering it (with some artistic license) accurately as well as artistically.
What is your academic/artistic background?
I have a BA in Studio Art with an emphasis in painting from Chatham College,
Pittsburgh, PA. 2006. (now Chatham University)
The unofficial:
Illustrations published in medical journals.
Paintings in collections across the US and internationally.
25+ years experience as an acrylic artist.
