I recently graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with an emphasis in Painting & Drawing.
I love the process of making these unique records of people. Although I reference photographs in the work I feel that they have a different quality, a different character than photographs.
