"I traveled a lot during my formative years and found myself fascinated by the huge diversity to be found in people. I'm still fascinated by people and find myself striving to communicate something about human-ness with my art. If I ever succeed I'll let you know...but until then I'll keep plugging away at it." rimbauds shop Title: "Twice Married Mother Of One" Medium: Oil on Canvas Size: 12" x 8" |  |
 | "I have always thought, "one knows nothing unless one truly knows one's self" and therefore understanding the human figure for me is a journey to understanding the anatomy as well as the psychology of either me or my sitter. I always try and get something more out of my subject, and find that "inner-self" and bring that to the forefront of a study or painting." mark malone Title: "PIGDOG" Medium: Charcoal on Paper Size: 4ftx5ft (48x60 inches) |
"Studying the Human Figure through Art is a way to touch the mystery and the majesty of creation. Trying to fathom the complexities of the human animal through swirls of paint and strokes of charcoal...what a challenge! Plus, I've just always liked drawing the landscape of the body."

 | "An interest in why some actresses looked SPECIAL when photographed developed into an interest with the chemistry between model and artist - that with the play of light across body and face became my subject - and I am searching for a way of making marks and surfaces that reflects this seductive chemistry - When I find a model who really allows me to be totally unaware of making art, I will keep her for as long as possible - sometimes two or three years. The chosen image "Flow" is pastel pencil on collage on wooden panel and was the first time I got the feel of this model, Debbie, who worked with me for about four years."

"My reason for studying the figure is actually fairly simple. I graduated with an art degree from a good liberal arts college and could not draw. Over several years in the printing industry I decided that my main problems revolved around the figure. I reasoned that if I could learn to draw the figure, almost every other problem I found would be cured. My idea is that if you can draw the figure, you can draw anything. This is the mountaintop of drawing and if you can climb this hill, you can do anything. It became a quest and despite relative success at it, I continue to work at it, as I will until the day I die."
