So, Who Influenced This? • It varies depending on the day. • Two camps: The old masters, and the contemporary kids. • In all reality, influenced by my surroundings. Leonardo Da Vinci LinneaStrid Angela Fraleigh
What About Strengths and Weaknesses? • Strengths: I enjoy drawing what I see, and have developed a better eye over time; Not afraid to try new mediums; willing to spend many hours on artwork. • Weaknesses: Get stuck in my ways; rendering isn’t the most top-notch; obsessiveness can kill artwork; not very good at conceptual work.

Big Ideas and Audience? • Over time, I have realized that the big idea behind my work is to prove that art education students are not incompetent. Cat-titudesStorybook Set, 2012, mixed media, 7” x 7” x 3” each
