Rain and fall leaves, I had an unexpected urge to represent the season.

Patterns of Time
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.
