Egg tempera on panel, 30.5 x 30 cm, July 2025.
I saw a beautiful show at the Mall Galleries with contemporary Indian painting. It was ‘stone pigment’ mixed with gum arabic on cloth. I heard a woman who was speaking talk about how pigments not made of stone make garish paintings. While some might find it garish, I like to walk right up to the line and see if I can get away with it. I am also not a purist.
When I was applying to Stanford, someone in the the know told me they only accepted students with double 800s. They said extra curriculars didn’t matter. I knew my scores wouldn’t be that good, but I applied and was accepted.
Sometimes, I like to play the underdog and to see things from a non-conventional perspective – to test the boundaries. Perhaps that is part of the lure of egg tempera for me – using it in a way you might not imagine.
