Untitled/oil on canvas/18x24/$450
These pieces are called “living art” because of the techniques used which will evolve over decades of life. Living art is created with a mixture of oil paint, and oil pastels. While oil is very durable over long periods of time, oil pastel never completely sets. Though these pieces are treated with a pastel fixative, they will still smudge, scratch, and fade over years of use. This is what they are designed to do! This is why they are “living” to the artist.

“Though the underlying work of the pieces will remain, their exterior manifestation will change greatly, altering the overall perception of the piece, much like the aging human shell, with all of the original spirit within.”-David Martin
