My paintings have been evolving under a variety of themes over many years. They usually explore subject matter from the natural world and often include elements of anthropomorphism, rural life, and the fantastical.
As I compile the work for this site, I realize how revealing they are to the moment I painted them- even though the content describes events and people that are a part of my personal history. Simultaneously living in the past and the present- I treat my paintings like a memoir.
My studio is located in the Ballard neighborhood of Ballard WA. There is a link to the building on the LINKS page. As for works that are available for purchase, the AVAILABLE WORK page loads my blog automatically. (If it doesn't, you can always check www.ajpowerstudio.blogspot.com ). I also teach classes on acrylic painting techniques at Pratt Fine Arts Center (a link is located on the LINKS page).
All the Best,
AJ
