I
am a self taught artist. I paint because I love to paint. The process
of painting nourishes me. I have been influenced by a variety of classical
and contemporary masters. Indeed, my style has evolved from formal
realism, using pastels and oils, to a style incorporating more abstract
and surreal imagery. Furthermore, by using mixed media, I have been
able to enhance the visual and textural impact of my paintings more
effectively.
Since my life-changing accident approximately four years ago, (I was
a full-time practicing Dermatologist), art has become my saving grace.
What was initially a hobby, has become an integral part of my life.
I paint daily, read art related literature, and follow the art work's
current events closely. My involvement also includes collecting art
as well as traveling across the United States and abroad to various
gallery and museum exhibits.
Furthermore, as an Artist Facilitator for the Arts in Medicine Program
at The University of Miami School of Medicine, for example, I have
been able to use my combined expertise as an artist and physician
to help enhance the lives of both medical students and cancer patients.
Finally, as I continue to paint, I hope to incorporate newer and more
imaginative imagery in my work. In addition to improving technically,
my ultimate goal is artistic self expression and the enrichment of
those who look at my paintings. - Jamie Morhaim -
