As an artist I continue to execute
drawings and paintings independent of formal study, having only recently
commenced oil figure painting, after enrolling in a class at Art Institute
Chicago (2004). It is the first of my hope to develop such skills and
individual style so as to discover a fundamental yeomanship and technique for
revealing the beauty and essence of the Eternal Feminine in all its glorious
forms. I look to capture the expression of an
essential dramatic moment; a moment in time that holds in it the dichotomous
and balanced need for action and stillness, while preserving the inevitable
essence of mystery. Finally, I fully
subscribe to - in both my personal life and all artistic endeavors - the maxim
as purported by Picasso: "a painting is the revelation of a journey." So to, I
suppose, is life as it truly is lived in the moment. Jeffrey
Baumgartner, 2007
