Stylistically, my work fits into the tradition of figurative painting using traditional methods while frequently depicting this high-tech contemporary environments. I like the idea of using an old method of depiction (painting) to show a twenty-first century objects. I prefer to paint directly from life whenever possible, in order to directly engage, and draw inspiration from, the physical presence of my subject. Current Interests Technology, graphic and product design, cross-cultural interplay in visual arts and technology. [http://www.saic.edu/profiles/faculty/andrewsconklin/index.html] undefined
