Inspired by

Nature

Triptych painting of a large, twisted tree with green leaves, set against a sky-blue background with abstract clouds and yellow accents.
Close-up of textured abstract paintings with dominant blue and teal colors, featuring thick brushstrokes and layered paint.

Everywhere you look, the world around us is full of textures. The gills under a mushroom cap, the coarse layers of tree bark, the plush feeling pressing down on a patch of moss, or the smooth surface of a river rock…all of this has inspired my relationship with texture and how I incorporate it into my work.

Two mushrooms with brown caps and white stems growing on a damp, dark forest floor.

And the Darkness

Three canvas panels resting on a work table with art supplies and paint splatters visible around them.
A triptych painting depicting a dark, autumnal landscape with leafless trees and swirling, textured sky. The scene includes tombstones, suggesting a graveyard, with a moon in the cloudy sky, painted in dark, moody colors with touches of orange, purple, and gold.
A mural of a black cat with piercing yellow eyes, surrounded by dark vines and a spooky graveyard with headstones and crosses. Think pet semetery.

In process, my work is very reactive and visceral. I often let the paint, the materials and emotions guide me as I form the initial layers. Every painting takes on a life of its own in that way.

A painting of a zombie character with green skin and bright blue eyes, wearing a headset. Inspired by the character Bub from Day of the Dead.

Dreamscape: A view or image that is or looks like something seen in a dream, or a work of art that represents this.

Texture just adds more layers to the dream, evoking emotions; a feeling, a memory; bringing us back around to a tactile reality.
