David Ehlen  Artist
It is like this rushing water flowing from my hand. Even when I prepare a canvas for paint the energy within releases out of me and strait on to the canvas. There are powers at work that I do not understand that are creating these pieces. I don't really have to think about them that much, I dream the painting during the creation period. I just put a brush in my hand and do the work.

The experiences, feelings, spirituality, and values that I have in my life come to life in the artwork. It is my point of reference for this wild, creative energy. I'm not sure at what point the Heart Series revealed itself as a staple in my art. I cannot express the energy that goes into these works. Often I will write on the canvas my feelings, prayers and wishes. Then I'll paint over the words to be lost behind the oil paint.

I have paintings that I have worked on for many years, some over ten years. The story is still being told is as close to an explanation for that. Terminal Intensity is that ongoing story. I've painted backgrounds for many of my abstract pieces that the actual subject appears to me and I'll get the piece out, dust it off and finish it.

I look at my art as an extended form of communication. Every piece of art has it's own story behind it. There are clear messages of love, fears, friends and family that individual viewers of the work are able incorporate the message into their own lives. I enjoy hearing the interpretations of others people's ideas of paintings I've created.

My artwork helps me heal, imagine, and continues to answer the questions I have in my life. I have way too much education.

I have a BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago 1997. Art comes within. Be happy.
