As an artist, especially a working artist, we wear many hats e.g. artist, illustrator, designer, and teacher. Those of you who have been following my art know my style and subject matter. Most of what I deal with is an aestheticized violence translated into something I find beautiful or that has a subverted narrative. Well I am here to tell you folks, that is not all that makes up my artistic life.
Two days a week I visit several long term care facilities and conduct painting workshops. I draw the pictures, and through guided painting sessions I help hose in their golden years live out their passion. Depicted in this photo is one of my students, she is 92 and just getting warmed up!
Those are some REALLY great painting skills and I'm sure a lot of patience on your part. Great job both of you.
