about Cruze

I first started showing an interest in art at 14 and had fun exploring and making unique and creative things with my friends. Above all else, seeing paintings posted on people's Tumblr blogs really inspired what I might be able to do one day. After a while of tinkering with different mediums and styles, I chose to take academic workshops from 2016-2018, making portraits and still life studies with charcoal pencils and oil paint, and consider this period of time to be incredibly informative and rich in information to heighten my skills. Now, I work with a focus on oil painting and works with ink on paper. I feel more at ease when my style is playful and less rigid; most of my favorite artists belong to the Expressionist era in the early 20th century. Enjoy =)
