Wave and light exploration on a canvas panel. The movement of light through the surface of water is hypnotics and soothing to watch. I strive to echo that quality in a simplified and expressive manner.

Momentum Gallery
My latest collection of work at Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. The gallery is building out a new gallery space and I am excited to have some new pieces there. I will also be having a show in the gallery next June!
Whidbey
My most recent commission. I have a much larger commission next in line.
Warming Light (home)
I procrastinate varnishing work. It’s maybe a psychological thing but once something is varnished it is truly done. Even a painting like this one that I really like and won’t change… haven’t varnished it. It takes a sale or an upcoming show to force my hand. That just adds unnecessary pressure down the line. Yeah, it sounds like a psychological issue.
The Air
I really like the color scheme and moody vibes of this painting. As I prepare a lot of giant boards I am going to be going back and forth between small paintings and huge panels. Ultimately I want to create more large scale epic works. The large pieces are much more expensive to make and end up with a large price tag so tougher to sell. Ultimately they are more satisfying and I aim to please myself.

Patterns in Light
Exploring water imagery with abstraction and expressive mark making. Like many of my paintings I want to make them larger.

The last of my paintings was sold through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, NC. Currently varnishing and framing new pieces for the gallery!
Summer Light
Another summer has slipped away. I always feel a little crushed this time of year. Every season has its beauty and the lights will stay bright in the studio.
