I am finishing my Studio degree at Stout at the end of May then will transfer to a MN University where I will finish my Art Education degree, in which I already have my Associates in Arts Degree from a MN school.

I am taking Life drawing to improve my skills drawing the human body. I enjoy drawing the human body, which is seen through most of my work; whether it pertains to the inter workings or outer of the body. I find my self drawn to the figure more probably because of the multiple surgeries I have had through out my life. The Drawing I posted is from right out of High School, in which my goal was to work on proportions. While in painting II I was still interested in the figure. Moving into painting III my figures became more abstracted but still relating to the human body/joint/back pains as you can see in the last painting that was posted.
