About the Artist

Upside down Sandy. I frequently draw upside down, as it increases our subjectivity; we release expectations of what something "should" look like. We have no visual language for how we perceive an animal's features are drawn upside down. Therefore, we tend to see clearly the proper balance of the shapes, which are no longer "EYES." In painting an animal it is best to let his/her dominant features prevail, without filling in every detail, which is called a "photograph," paranthetical sarcasm implied. Any time an artist needs to figure our an area that is troublesome, looking at the image in a mirror or upside down always works because our brains have "dispensations" or imbalances in perception.


Closeup. The graphic designer is often happiest in the different modes of presentation and composition. This section successfully stands on its own, without needing the rest.
