Charlie Bynar - Artist

“We are in her studio, the walls white, the dogs as muses. Bynar works on dry paper, with an exacting technique she refines with every stroke. We watch as her brush creates gray-green eyes, then refrains, leaving white paper for the glint of life. After it has dried, Bynar applies another layer of gray-green, the white glint intact; sometimes as many as twenty layers of paint, so that by the time she is finished, the gray-green eyes look directly into yours.”
