Pouch Paintings
I began creating the Pouch Paintings in 2020, blending elements from both my past and present works. These pieces serve as a condensed reflection of my entire painting practice. Due to their small, intimate scale, they do not incorporate or need a wood support.
Bed Paintings
The Bed Paintings began in 2018. These works repurpose the traditional painting materials, separating and simplifying them in the process. The term 'bed' refers to the canvas itself, serving as a resting place for the paint, offering a soft landing for painting."
Suspended Paintings
The suspended paintings are created using two different approaches. In one, the painted surface is displayed at the front of the work; in the other, the paint is revealed from the side. Despite these variations, both methods share the same construction: the canvas is tacked to a wooden support, allowing it to hang freely while holding the paint.
Inverted Paintings (Reversed)
Same concept as the inverted paintings but reversed showing the paint in front.
Suspended/Pouch Combo Paintings
These works combine the elements of construction from the Suspended Paintings as well as the Pouch Paintings.
Bandage Paintings
I began the bandage paintings in 2017. A reversal of process is a common theme in my work, and in these pieces, I apply canvas directly to wet paint—an inversion of the traditional method of applying paint to canvas. This initial body of work expanded, leading to new iterations.
Section Paintings (Small)
I began creating the Small Section Paintings in 2001 as a response to the large-scale works I was exhibiting at that time. These works are to be shown on a raised surface such as desks, shelve, or pedestal. These small works have also served as prototypes for large-scale installations.
Bag Paintings (Inside-Out Burlap) 2016
After nearly a twenty-year hiatus from painting, I returned in 2016 to rediscover myself and find a path forward. I revisited my first body of work from 1989, updating it with an enhanced use of color.
Inverted Paintings
The inverted paintings have the canvas stretched from the inside of the stretcher bars outward, with the canvas displayed on the front and the paint existing on the inside.
