It has been a busy spring filled with a lot of traveling and
exhibitions. I wanted to take a moment to share some very special news.
I have been accepted by Odd Nerdrum to study with him in
Norway in an apprenticeship. The Nerdrum School is the most important school of
painting. Everyone claims to be influenced by the old masters but students who
have studied alongside the living master Odd Nerdrum understand the depth of
the human condition and the depth and layers hidden within this timeless place.
This school provides an environment that
nurtures talent and offers a way of doing it like no other.
Odd Nerdrum is a true genius and the greatest painter of our
time! His Old Master technique is sumptuous, his palette sophisticated and
other-worldly and those who follow his work know he is the timeless thread that
connects to the past and future of painting.
The Nerdrum School is made up of painters who are bound
together by their desire to create timeless masterpieces. This is going to be
an incredible journey. I am looking forward to working with Odd, his family,
and my fellow Kitsch painters.
