Byrne
Artist
My art work is a combination of painting, sculpture, photography and poetry.
I have always been interested in human movement and one of the most interesting human moving activities is dance, I have taken dancers and abstracted them with oils on both canvas and on board.
My photography work spans Photojournalism, Black & White, landscape, portraiture, photo manipulation and commercial marketing projects.
My newest sculpture works have been using recycled wood products.
I have found that while it is hard to be “Green” with all my art it is possible to be greener with a little planning.
I am always thinking about my art and looking to add new media into my art portfolio.

I am currently looking for a space, maybe an empty commercial store front to have a show. Downtown Olympia would be best but open to anything with good sidewalk and street traffic.
