This is a brief overview of my artistic career, focusing on the people I have learned from most and how I earn a living as an artist full-time. 1985 Wake Forest University graduate with a Bachelors degree in Fine Art. From 1985 to 2001, worked in various positions including technical illustration, print, computer graphics and multi-media programming. 2002 I began doing charcoal portraits. Also, explored soft pastels. Harley Brown's book Eternal Truths for Artists was purchased. It was a book I reread every day. Kevin Beck taught pastel workshops. Every day that I was able, I sketched or painted. My signature was based on Wolf Kahn (first and last names). It was simple and I loved it. 2003 I attended two 5-day workshops by Albert Handell. March and November 2003 I painted or sketched everyday. I also started doing outdoor art festivals around my neighborhood and began to branch out further into national exhibitions. My primary source of income was art festivals. 2005 I attended a 10 day workshop in Jackson with Scott Christensen. Among many other things, I learned his limited palette method. 2006 I began teaching lessons to students in the area. Most of my students met me through art festivals. Many people wanted to be able to paint as I did. From 2007 to present, I am still traveling around the country, participating in Plein Air events, attending fine art festivals and teaching workshops. Sometimes I accept commissions. I began to choose Gallery representation through developing relationships with people who are interested in my art. I've been a full time artist since 2002. Most of my work is in the impressionistic style and done with pastel or oil. I accept commissions and sell paintings created either on location or in my studio. Workshops are another form of income and I love sharing whatever I can with those who want to learn more. Enjoy my work and please contact me with any inquiries.
