| Work and Artistic Experience |
|
I work almost exclusively in egg tempera, which can be a
painstaking and exacting medium, but one which allows me to
express a feeling I have about the look of the world. All
my work is the product of direct and intense observation,
which can produce as a result a heightened sense of realism,
where every surface detail is given almost equal consideration. |
