Fine Art from an Unique Perspective

Form & Abstraction

 
IMG_5031.jpg

The Abstract Expressionist Movement is undeniably my greatest influence. Like jazz and baseball, it is true Americana. I find the aura and emotion of jazz musicians and abstract painters of that era to be interwoven.

My fascination with birds began as a child, and undoubtedly, birds are subject matter I know best. The moment I incorporated birds on the canvas, I became intrigued with the relationship between form and abstraction.

Quite simply, I approach each canvas with the intent to express the grace, the vulnerability, and the texture of a Miles Davis solo.

The allure of working with wood never escapes me. My body covered in sawdust typically signals creative bliss. I really enjoyed the freedom to create windows and differing depths on this body of work.

I also developed a technique for oxidizing the paints causing the pigments to separate, creating an interesting color and texture composition.

Reclaimed Wood

Piles of discarded wood fencing came as a result of Hurricane Irma's destruction. In a feeble attempt to rescue that wood from a landfill, I made stuff, below is a gallery of some of those creations.
