I first saw Schulnik's work at Mark Moore gallery in Santa Monica a few years back. The air was redolent with the smell of oil paint as soon as you entered the gallery. I am sure the paint had skinned but had not cured yet. Schulnik is also a claymation animator and has done some commercial work for recording artists videos. Her approach to handling paint is direct and assertive as she mixes the paint from the tube to her pallet to the surface of the painting. She builds a painting much in the same way she builds her clay figures and scenes for the animation. At once repulsive and seductive I was attracted to them immediately. Another San Diego native is navigating the art world in her own distinctive way.
