welcome!
while i can't bring you into the studio itself, you can still get a glimpse into the process! take a look around, explore collections, and read a few insights into how i see the artwork as it changes - from where it all started to the newest works off the easel.

pulling & scrubbing
this piece was an absolute blast to create! this canvas was used multiple times for projects gone wrong, so it has history that i was happy to paint over.
"pulling & scrubbing" is about the method here, getting out my offset spatula and acrylic mediums in order to scrape paint across the canvas. it's very visceral to me, because it required a lot of reworking due the textures of underlying projects. believe it or not, a lot of thought went into weighing out white space!

"skyline under pressure" was a bit of a surprise. this was my first time playing with such a vivid color and while it didn't turn out quite how i expected, i think the pastels helped to create some balance.
"lost logic" was definitely not fun to paint - it felt muddy and uncomfortable from the get-go. after setting it down and reworking it repeatedly, i decided that it was time to stop, and now it's a favorite!
where it started
working with a custom compound
dimensional whitewash
before landing on acrylics, one of the primary mediums i worked with was a custom textural compound designed for manipulation on a canvas. while i love the final effect, there are many steps and a lot of time involved in the process. that said, the monochrome is beautiful and these pieces are some of my favorites!
once my existing inventory is out, these pieces will be for commission only.
