The Still-Life.

I love color. One of the best ways to express it is through putting together objects and sculpting with paint.

Gestures

Gestures capture the idea of something. Quick and Powerful. It's the essence of the form.

Lost Romance

People fall in love all the time. My friend told me once that people only truly fall in love 3 times in their life. This a painting about a love that was lost but in the final moment of being physically together there were sparks. It's about enjoying what you have while you have it.

Portraiture

Portraiture was a way throughout history to document events, personalities, and tell stories. I wanted my portraits to evoke the personality of the model.

Flowers

Who doesn't love flowers? They seem to be one of the prettier aspects of organic life. I love to paint single sets of flowers. It captures the essence of the beauty more than when it's surrounded by the rest of life. Serene and peaceful.

Candy Art

I loved to collect candy wrappers and use them for different type of art projects. My art usually has some organic qualities whether it be through the application of materials or the color palette. I also like the idea of recycling materials. With the commericalism of today, it seems like some art is taken for granted. I look to the Pop Art movement sometimes to get inspiration.
