Studio Notes
An ongoing record of the observations, field notes, and questions that shape my practice. Here I share paintings in progress, sketchbook studies, collection development, and reflections on the environments, encounters, and ideas that continue to influence the work.
Second day—new series
Every day, the paintings look different and no two paintings are alike. Such a beautiful metaphor for life. I paint. I learn. Creativity is like that.
Painting traces
I believe every painting is more than an image. It is the physical trace of an encounter.
Abstract art in stages
One realization changed the way I think about painting: I no longer see a finished work as an expression of emotion, but as the trace of an encounter.
An Obsession With Corn
A simple seed, a seemingly insignificant singularity, is an entity of beauty and perfection unto itself.
