  Thanks, Sharon–I really struggled with his eyes–and I guess it was worth the effort.

Carol Steinberg, Los Angeles, CA, United States My work walks the edge between traditional and modern, feminine and masculine, expressive and calculated, the light and the dark. I have been oil painting since I was 8 years old. My first paintings were of the Breck Shampoo Girl illustrations on the backs of magazines. I now believe I was engaged in an attempt to connect with the Feminine as a result of not living with my mother from the age of 3. I felt a deep need to express myself and my pain through painting and writing. Eventually I came to a place of wanting to paint for its own sake and I chose flowers as a vehicle to allow me to explore with color, light, and composition, to play with paint, squeezing and mixing luscious colors onto my palette and canvas. I’m not interested in the subject as I work, but in an abstract game with rules that allow me to ultimately dance with energy–emotional and spiritual. Again, I enjoy the paradoxical edge of the surface skin of paint that alludes to a deeper reality that unifies it all. I want to express/allow freedom, joy, spirit.
