A body of work celebrating endings flowing into new beginnings. new beginnings,  these works  are Inspired by lengthening hours of daylight,  lavish color, and new growth bursting forth. Characterized by their dynamic essence with expansive paint , I build texture, layer, and push color to create an effect both generous and unexpected.  Each work is a visual allegory of the new life we feel as times of barrenness lift within our own lives. And an invitation for you to meditate in the expressive quality of the rich surface.

This composition of seeing a horizontal line connect edge to edge is so innately powerful, we feel we're standing and looking at the field before us as location. I stand in the same place as you'll be standing. Looking and asking "where is this taking me?" Inspiration for these paintings comes from someplace boundary-less and deep within. 

Within this series, I have experimented with the idea of restraint in different ways. Resisting my usual way of working - the urge to add more complexity - each work instead focuses on an element. Some concentrate on line, others color, still others value or texture. The isolation amplifies the intrinsic beauty of the raw expression. I call this series "Soul Searching" because working in this manner felt vulnerable like exposing a deep part of my soul. Ultimately the restraint became a respite from the noise and congestion of complexity and offered freedom. The epiphany in painting each work is akin to hearing an a cappella solo, the essence of resplendent limitlessness born from limitedness.

Inspired by polyphony—multiple voices woven into a single harmony—this body of work brings together variations of surface, color, and layered assemblage to form an integrated visual whole. Golden metallic leaf, long associated with Byzantine art and the illuminated icons of the Middle Ages, becomes the glowing foundation beneath acrylic gestures and collaged Yupo.

Here, the divine and the contemporary exist not in contrast but in seamless union. The shimmer of sacred tradition and the immediacy of present-day materials inhabit the same breath. My intention is to shape paintings that reflect this oneness, allowing beauty and mystery to rise from their shared field of light.

This body of work investigates ways to push color, create texture, and unite disparate passages with an energy of allowing. Working with no more than 2 colors, most times only one on either very smooth non-absorbant grounds or unprimed highly absorbant canvas, the surface determines much about how  the paint  behaves, thus I must yield some control.  The process involved in these works is intuitive  and meditative. I use breath, hair dryers, and gravity to push the fluid paint as it pools and flows next to gestures thickly applied. While appearing "simple", it is far from simple as it requires me to be highly attentive and focused while also allowing the paint to move as it may and the ground to accept it as it will. This process is an act of surrender and embrace of the unexpected as I distill form and elements , as well as  yield control to the surface. My desire is that the work will resonate with you in a way that each becomes a gateway inviting you deeper into your interior.
