| Your Personal Biography |
I first began to seriously study painting when I was 17. A local portait artist took me under her wing and allowed me to work and learn in her studio as she taught classes and gave painting instruction to painters who were much better than I. At the time I had no idea that Peggy (Margaret Carter Baumgartener) was an internationally known portait artist, and that I was spening my summers in what was possibily the best environment for a young artist. I have learned more from her about painting and color and temperature and composition than I have from any college art class.
College did, however, afford me much time to think a great deal about the nature of art, as well as put ideas into practice. By studying philosophy in conjunction with art, the art-making process has become so much more to me than what people usually consider art: mere self-expression. I have come to know it to start with a sincere desire to create - art becomes the result of a welling up of too much creative energy, needing an outlet, and then thankfully finding a medium and surface. It then developes into something new when you stand back and wonder, "is anyone else going to understand this?" Expression is not art's end - not its purpose, rather it is communication. Communication presupposes an audience and an effort to bring forth ideas in the viewer "according to his capacity" as Picasso says.
