I take inspiration from the natural world and translate it into vibrant color and interesting forms to bring a sense of wonder and calm simultaneously. Magic Hour, that most romantic time when the sun gets low in the sky; everything takes on a warm glow, and quiet and calm settle in for a brief time.

My paintings blend geometric shapes with organic textures. I build the foundation of the painting with multiple thick layers of acrylic paint “ala prima” on a wood panel and then sand it back to reveal surprising combinations of color and texture.

Symmetrical and polished forms that are reminiscent of mid-century modern design juxtapose with rough textures to create an expression of an idea, memory, or feeling. Clean design that simultaneously feels old and new, modern and warm.
