Artist, Analyst, Aikidoist, Alexander Technique Teacher-Trainee. Artist: I've been living, working and exhibiting in the San Francisco Bay Area for almost 20 years. My subject matter ranges from portraits of people and animals to almost abstract paintings of plant forms and light. I paint in oil, acrylics, & watercolors, with oil paintsticks and watercolor markers, and with digital media such as pressure-sensitive tablet and Studio Artist software. I draw with anything I can get my hands on - sticks on wet sand and fingers on frosted windows, chunks of wood freshly burnt into charcoal and children's toys such as etch-a-sketch and magna-doodle. I also take landscape, figure, animal and street photographs, have played with printmaking (mostly monoprints) and have dabbled with sculpture in steel, wood, clay and neon.

how did you get these done while away? Does thst ipod Touch bleed paints on command?
I wish! - I'm waiting for the iPaint but I don't think it's out yet!
Honestly, though - I have a compact travel art kit - it's how I got started on watercolor in Asia - it was the smallest thing I could bring that would give me color. And painting in a rented house isn't nearly as complicated as painting in shared dorm rooms at conferences or dim hotel bathrooms in Thailand!
Or perhaps you thought we were camping...? I haven't done that yet - tricky - would need to carry out all the dirty water....
