I paint the Still Life in oil on canvas. I feel a sense of joy in my work which I try to convey with my compositions and colors, usually from an up-close perspective. In setting up my composition, I am concerned with the forms, spatial tensions and colors of what I see before me. I love the colors of the fruit juxtaposed with colorful Jacquard cloths and chosen dishes and pots.
Still Life provides an inexhaustible source of inspiration. I paint with lightfast oils in strong colors. My canvas sizes are 12x12 to 30x40. I usually paint around the sides to allow a continuous impression when viewed hung on a wall.
I push myself to paint more and often. After earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Kansas, Hauser I am continuing my arts education by participating in a weekly life drawing group. I once took a studio class with Philomene Bennett, a founding member of the Kansas City Artists Coalition.
