Painting and writing...

Journal Entry: Sun Apr 27, 2008, 10:16 AM


My first novel SEABORN will be out in July from Juno Books

I blog at http://theophrast.us

I am a novelist and short story writer--but I am a writer who also paints. I work in watercolors and digital formats, sometimes mixing them. Most of my recent artwork has a sea theme, which comes out of my fiction writing over the last three years. There are particular themes I enjoy studying and expressing, the ocean as a source of life and dark forests.

Thank you so much! Most of them are characters from my stories--and so I always sort of know what they're thinking...and sometimes it comes out in the painting.
