One of twenty one paintings heading to Momentum Gallery in Asheville, NC. These new paintings are part of my solo exhibit opening March 12th!
Note the snow falling in the background, perfect for summer dreams!
Summer Dream
Tag: work
Coming Storm
A new painting in the studio, I think I can almost hear this one. I am currently painting on some larger panels which is really a treat.
Journey of Light
I am digging in and getting it after. Starting with small concepts so that I can work on bigger pieces in the dark months. This piece has a lot of intriguing qualities worth further exploration! My next solo show is spring 2026 so I will be very busy.
WIP
Currently working on this piece in the studio. Layering colors and working with values to create the light.
Rainbow Flow (sold)
I was happy to hear this painting was sold through RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon!
Update (studio)
I am working on a few 18” x 24” paintings at the moment. I posted this one a bit ago, this is the latest update! Things are starting to click into place now, just a bit more refining ahead on this piece.
I sometimes consider selling everything and retiring to a smaller life… I just can’t stop doing what I do.
Burn Away
I am pretty fond of this piece. It is a really common subject for me but it is one I truly love. I am thankful I have time to spend painting, trying not to waste it.
There will be more unusual paintings in the near future as I work towards my March solo show. This painting will not be at that show. This one is bound for a gallery, not sure which one just yet.
A Little Water
Three small water paintings freshly completed. I am putting together a pretty good collection of small works. Painting time has been pretty limited over the summer so these smaller pieces have been my focus. I work with a number of galleries that have “small works shows” in the fall. So I will be sending these smaller paintings all over the country in the coming months.
Mood
I am obsessed with moody landscapes. The feeling of vastness in stark contrast with your own limitations as a human.
This planet is filled with inspiration. I like mine a little haunted.
On and On
A new seascape in the studio. Much of the subtlety doesn’t make it across in photographs, a common complaint I know. After working on so many tiny paintings this summer it was nice to give myself some larger space to explore.
