Each photographic illustration in my body of work is composed of the many photographs I have taken all over the Midwest, layered, and pieced together with computer software. Dennis Krull.
I paint simple strokes. Strokes that mature into figures that are emphasized by the intentions of chiaroscuro. Using the contrast of light and shadow to highlight the essence of its focal point, resulting in loose but believable figurative oil paintings. Kayleen Horsma.
