"Quaking" Painting

I attended Art School in Milwaukee, WI following High School, and returned to school for photography at Brooks Institute in Santa Barbara, CA. I've been painting and drawing my whole life and have been focussing more on textures and incorporating found objects. I split my time between Minneapolis and living on a small island in Lake Superior and am surrounded by the larges fresh water lake in the world and all of it's moods and colors. My pieces are intended to create an emotion, idea or feeling using found objects, organic/natural stuff, building layers of paint to create my pieces. These are open for the viewers own interpatation, the colors take on their own existence inside the compositions creating its own restfull interest.
