This is my first large format Magnolia. With a more abstract design, I like to keep my colors fresh and bold. I am especially pleased with the windows in this painting. These small squares placed randomly throughout the work let you “see” into the painting. These windows simulate digital water drops, reminding me of the freshness of spring.

This piece is a painting heading in the direction I want to go lately. I want to explore atmosphere, color, texture, and dreams. I have let go of the moons for a while and I feel the need to paint birds. This is the first painting in a series exploring birds and flight.

This is painting is about texture. I have layered a piece of woven canvas collage onto the surface. The sunset takes a subtle backseat to the cattail colors.

This is my second large format Magnolia. With a more abstract design, I like to keep my colors fresh and bold.

My second painting in the bird series. This one is less minimalist and more organic in nature. It amazes me how a bird can find one tiny twig sticking out of a weed to land on. If I could fly, I would have to land on something wide open, like Jax’s Beach.
