Painting w/ Intention: It's not enough to make something beautiful. For me, the HOW & WHY something is made is of imperative value. My new series of paintings explores positive affirmations to navigate our choices ON & OFF the canvas.

New Work: WELCOME HOME

2/19/2022

 
Picture
Everything we create is an extension of ourselves. My new series of paintings explores positive affirmations as navigational tools for the choices made on & off the surface of the canvas. We can't help it. We paint who we are. The canvas is our mirror. When the work is finished & the painting is interpreted by the viewer, it is my hope that these intentions serve as guide posts to becoming greater expressions of ourselves.

​​​Life is short. Death is quick. Yesterday morning I received the devastating news that my friend & colleague died by suicide. My heart sank. My body shook from head to toe. My legs gave way and I collapsed to the ground in shock & disbelief.​

Yelapa, Mexico

2/8/2022

 
Picture
There are some places, people & activities that make me feel  A  L  I  V  E . My recent excursion to Yelapa provided me with plenty of opportunities to experience being uncomfortable (compostable toilets, scorpions, motion sickness, etc.) yet I was extremely happy. A potent reminder to me that being comfortable does not always equate to happiness & that the opposite is also true: Being uncomfortable does not have to equate to being unhappy. It is a choice. When we push ourselves beyond our preconceptions of what we think we can & cannot do, we gain an inner strength & stability that supersedes anything tangible.

My most recent series of paintings explores positive affirmations as navigational tools to decision making on & off the canvas.

Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah

2/7/2022

 
Picture
In order to really understand a place, you have to experience it. In preparation for 4 large-scale commission paintings I made for a corporate client, I visited Bryce Canyon National Park for the first time. Utah colors are reds, yellows & ochres juxtaposed against a brilliant blue sky. The landscape is other-wordly, reaching, flattened, undulating, expansive and harsh. The texture is rough, smooth, slippery and deceiving. The feeling is that one is very small and the landscape is truly sacred.
