My third trimester exercise regime has been my daily walk to my studio at the Art's Complex--an old government building converted into 6 levels of studios, small business offices, non-profit arts groups and gallery space. Sometimes I bring Dee and have set up a little bed for her (and also me).
I have just completed a graphic art piece for my friend, a local art collector in the bay area. He is a doctor and also an artist himself, casting the female torso in plaster to create modern twist on an ancient form. I posed as his model and had my body replicated in plaster. As a model, this experience contributed to research I was doing for my own artwork about the female nude. With inspiration from comic books and graphic novels, we decided I would create a graphic artwork depicted my experience being casted. In my research into comic booking--I discovered a fascination with sequential imaging, leading me to incorporate concepts of sequential art into my current painting endeavors.
