Sometimes people are surprised to find out I am a natural artist and not merely good with a PC program. I think natural art (paints, pencils, pastels, and clay) is where it is at - it is here true expression can take place. On the next page you can select the medium you are interested in.

News: Nude Sculpture?

Back before the age of modern art (excuse me, I am a bit biased), a piece was made for its beauty and to let the common man wonder in awe at the worksmanship and technique of art, in my opinion. Things like the statue of David or the painting of Aphrodite seem to me to be expressions of thanks or approval through the means of copying the great thing known as the human body. If someone is nude in a piece, the connotation does not have to be a sexual one. Nudity may mean frailty, being vulnerable, or being seen in the most shameful or true way. Being somewhat young, I still squirm a bit when asked to draw the nude figure for my drawing class. That doesn't mean that it's shameful; besides, the best way to learn is through observation, and there's nothing wrong with creating a sculpture or sketch that portrays the human body in its most genuine aspect.
