Perri Sparks
Armed with a Master’s degree in Medical Illustration from the Johns Hopkins Medical School, Perri worked for many years at a variety of academic medical institutions producing surgical illustrations for publication, medical animation, and classroom teaching.
Today, she produces fine art for commission and gallery sales as well as maintaining her position as Assistant Professor teaching in the Biomedical Illustration Graduate Program at UT Southwestern Medical School. She hosts a weekly nude figure painting session and schedules 5 or 6 workshops each year in Dallas, the Texas Hill Country, California, and Italy. Her work can be seen on the web at www.EarlyLightGallery.com.
After years of precisely portraying surgical anatomy for limited color production, she enjoys creating full-sized figurative pastel and oil paintings. Her goal is to focus on capturing the subject’s more elusive qualities the surface during the exchanges that occur when working with a live model. Her pastels are colorfully expressive and lately she has enjoyed capturing smaller, on-site landscapes in this looser manner. "I guess after years of ‘red for the arteries, and blue for the veins’ I needed to break out and tell my own story!"
