Superman Man of Steel

Close up – Detail

This epic superhero comic book icon has entertained kids young and old for so many years. This comic book hero was Clark’s (my husband) favorite, so it was especially fun to paint. I think I had Clark in mind while I painted this, and that is why it turned out better than I had hoped it would. This guy reminds me of him. 😉

The actor who plays Superman in this upcoming remake (due for release June 2013), is Henry Cavill. The last remake wasn’t as awesome as I had imagined, but I am optimistic this one will be better. To all the Superman fans, this painting is for you! 🙂

About the Artist

I’m an artist, author, and poet. My work is often shaped by lived experiences and by paying close attention to the world around me… nature, and the people who have helped shape my life.

I usually paint first, and the words come later. Painting has been the safest way I’ve found to be honest about things that are hard to say out loud, and over time I’ve noticed other people finding their own stories in the work too.

My paintings are meant to comfort, to feel like a presence rather than a statement, and to give space for each person to find their own meaning. The connection that happens there matters most to me.
