This is a self portrait. I've disliked photographs with myself as the subject for a long time. Few pictures of me exist without me ducking, turning or covering my face or perhaps giving the photographer the finger. I love photography, honest. Being the subject just gives me the willies; always has. Here is my attempt at a compromise.[...]

Oberlin has always been an artist, developing a love for fountain pens at an early age and deciding to train both hands to draw. They had heard adults talk about a spooky thing called ‘arthritis’. The artist is now ambidextrous.

Oberlin began having seizures and was diagnosed with epilepsy during their freshman year of college. Art helped tremendously. 

Some of Oberlin’s paintings come from sketches. Some of the paintings are scenes and shapes that mutate from color. The commonality is expression. The sketches themselves come from dreams and conversations. Some of these ideas have ruminated for months or years. Others happened in a flash.

Any of the art that you see may have since been painted over, traded, donated, given away, eaten, burned, buried or destroyed.
