These pieces follow nine years of painting highly detailed abstract miniatures on raw pine boards. The accumulation of tiny mark making on wood created a raised surface and distinct texture which naturally led to me to make rubbings of the miniature paintings. Later, I began to create more expansive rubbings taken from the deck behind my kitchen. On top of this layer of wood grain pattern, the organic dissemination of painted marks across the surface mutated into a more methodical system of painting and line drawing.

lately, i've been really into artists who utilize recycled materials in their work as i've recently noticed how much waste i produce just in the making of my work and i want to do something proactive about it. i love how this artist exploits the beauty of the translucency and malleability of plastic, therefore transforming the material...read about each project and see more here.

This process is time consuming and unforgiving; it must be approached with a strict sense of clarity in composition of form and color. It is for these reasons that I choose to work in tempera.

i wish i had the patience to work in this medium, i've always loved the creamy texture it provides...see more here.
