Flight

"Flight" is a painting I created in a newer style I've been experimenting with, incorporating gel transfers, illustrations, and other collaged elements, like found objects. I drew and painted both realistic and abstract forms while still having the subject matter related to nature.

Faces and Forms

"Faces and Forms" is a painting I created in a newer style I've been experimenting with, incorporating gel transfers, illustrations, and other collaged elements, like found objects. I drew and painted both realistic and abstract forms and focused on a new subject matter of Women by using images from various places and historical times from around the world.

Lily 1

"Lily 1" is a painting that when I was in the beginning of planing out a composition I really wanted to focus on the bright, warm, bold color of red. I began the painting by creating a push / pull space background, and then added abstract elements like the butterfly wing, and finished by painting a bold lily blending in golden hues.

Falling Leaves - sold

"Falling Leaves" is a painting where I focused on creating a feeling of the season of Autumn. I pressed a variety of actual leaves directly onto the painting and also painted several different leaves creating a sense of leaves falling and gathering on the surface of the painting.

Spring

"Spring" is a painting in the seasons series. The season of spring, to me, is all about rebirth and renewal. I focused on fresh, clean colors, abstract forms in a circular shape to represent the eternal spiral of the seasons, and a large lily to represent the beginning of new growth.

Summer

SOLD "Summer" is a painting in the seasons series. I began this painting by selecting colors that reminded me of the season of summer, focusing on golden hues and rich violets. I then worked in abstract forms in a circular shape to represent the eternal spiral of the seasons. I used actual flowers to create the images in this painting. I pressed flowers directly onto the painting and left any organic matter that stuck to the painting as part of the final piece.

Autumn

"Autumn" is a painting from the seasons series. I began this painting by incorporating a push / pull space in the background, while focusing on colors that remind me of the colorful season - Autumn. I then worked in abstract forms in a circular shape to represent the eternal spiral of the seasons.

winter

"Winter" is a painting in the Seasons series. It is a departure from the usual color scheme I had been working with at the time I was creating the series. I tried to capture the cold stark feeling of the winter season in a completely abstract way by working in abstract forms in a circular shape to represent the eternal spiral of the seasons.
