Coming attractions…

This one isn’t done yet but it’s getting there.With all the humidity and rain I have been literally watching paint dry! My paintings are also available at Saatchi.com and I was recently accepted by and am currently populating Artmajeur.com with my paintings. I am really excited about Artmajeur.com because it has the ability to showcase my process with video and extra photos of my work in progress! Feel free to use my contact page with questions about purchasing any of the paintings you see here, or on Instagram, or on the Saatchi or Artmajeur site.

Currents of the Unspoken

Currents of the Unspoken

“Currents of the Unspoken” is a vibrant and emotionally layered abstract piece exploring the hidden energy beneath the surface of human expression. Sweeping strokes of turquoise and ultramarine interweave with flashes of crimson, lavender, and citron, evoking a sense of movement through internal and external landscapes. Textural brushwork invites the viewer to navigate an ocean of feeling—grief, curiosity, intimacy, and release—all coexisting in harmony and tension.

Potter’s Sink

Potter’s Sink captures a quiet, intimate moment in the daily life of a ceramic artist. Far from a chore, this snapshot of post-meal dishes—each one hand-thrown, glazed, and used—tells a story of creativity meeting the rhythms of everyday living. The interplay of color, form, and glaze within a utilitarian context invites the viewer to find beauty in what is often overlooked.
