I received my formal training at UC Santa Barbara with an emphasis in painting. Lately, I am exploring encaustic, adding dimension to my sculptural paintings.
MessageCollection: Lamp Series
I started these lamps in the Fall of 2022 and they have evolved as any painting or sculptural piece does. I am particularly interested in the weighless look, and they feel a bit like anemones or other underwater creatures which is a 3D leap from the paintings in this same vein.
They seem mid-century in their layering and up close have a Deco-esque simplicity that changes as they are illuminated.
It is a clear inspiration from my art heros Ruth Asawa and Buckminster Fuller.
