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. Renewal is all about the energy of spring and the optimism of the season. Blue skies, fresh green unfolding, and flowers bursting all around.Â
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 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.
