Drawing, sculpting, and painting creatures has been a lifelong passion. I often work from the subconscious, so don't always have a plan or know the meaning until late in the work. Nevertheless, the works often do hold meaning, sometimes very different ones for each viewer. Sometimes the work is simply absurd like a bizarre dream. There is usually humor; sometimes it's dark. My work does not fit neatly into a particular genre, though some of it is surrealism, and surrealistic traits spill over into most of it. I enjoy working with acrylic paints, colored pencils, graphite, and occasionally, when I have access to the workspace and a kiln, ceramic hand building. I worked for years for companies that make trade show displays, movie props, theme party murals, theater sets and costumes, etc. I also did faux finishes for the interior design trade for a number of years. I obtained a B.A in Studio Art from Arizona State University in 1986. These days, I'm focusing on my personal art, and some of my originals are for sale in Phoenix area galleries. I also sell some pieces as prints on a print on demand art site. More of my work can be seen at http://www.redbubble.com/people/cschnack when I don't have work uploaded here. In order to have more time for art and less time managing websites, etc, I often change out many of my images for recent work, or just cut back. But regardless of how many images I have online, I'm busy at home painting and drawing!
