Terra Incognita
with painting on aluminum dibond.
How do they compare?
I like the traditional look and feel
of the linen, but the archival
qualities of the aluminum are far
superior. I miss the springiness
of the canvas, but far prefer the
smooth surface of the panel. In
terms of cost and preparation time,
they’re about the same. I’ll have
to work with the aluminum more
or
an a a na
nt
but as of now, I don’t see myself
going back to the linen.
How do you find your models?
Most often, they are people I know
who look the part. Occasionally, I’ll
ask a stranger to model if they have
the right look. I’ve also had some

a good model I tend to use them

One of your recent paintings,
Muse and Medium, includes a
sculpture. Have you ever
considered sculpting?
I consider it all the time. I love
sculpture.
What is it about painting that
fulfills you?
It’s great to be able to inspire other
people and occasionally bring some
beauty to their lives, but mostly I
just enjoy making pictures that I

what I think is important, inspiring
or beautiful.
