About The Artwork

I'm always looking for new things. I've taken my process from an absorbent substrate to one that doesn't absorb at all! The horizon holds cloud-like bubbles of abstract chaos, or bubble-like clouds of Easter colors and storms. I like the way I can draw on this paper, and its feel. I like the way the time-based aspect of my work go entirely in new directions that are also the same. As with my works on joint compound, the work is generative. I start with a simple concept; a horizon line and bubbles that extend out on each side. I take a pass, then I do it again with different media. I do the same thing over and over again, but each time the response must change. Every single mark is either exhaustively considered or done in flow. For this series and type of work, the pieces are also offered as prints, so that you can enjoy them even if you're on a budget, and you can enjoy them in large, eye-catching sizes. PLEASE NOTE: Some colors may fade over time. It is recommended to either frame this piece behind UV Resistant glass, and/or to hang in a space that doesn't get a ton of direct sunlight. Or to enjoy the changes time brings to all things.

Making art has always been a compulsion, one in which I have found some facility. I knew that an 'artist' was who I was probably as early as age 4 or 5, though I didn't head back to school to complete my art degree until 2001. I prefer abstraction, though I draw inspiration primarily from atmospheric phenomena, oblique light, and empty landscapes. I take pleasure in the tension created between where I hope a painting will go and where it leads me. Systematic methods and rules form the backbone of my pieces. Materials go down mostly in a certain order, I keep my toolkit of media and my palette deliberately small. I like how these constraints force the dialog between the marks and my intent to remain focused. Though my intent is deliberate, the elements of composition that result always suggest new directions I may follow, retreat from, and revisit. But pure composition needs an emotional component. As I work I’m exploring what it means to suffer in life, to have a broken childhood, to struggle with addiction and self-doubt. Like many artists, I make music foundational to my practice. The rhythms and moods influence the marks I make as much as a thunderstorm or cirrus cloud. You’ll often find a song title or snippet of a lyric suffices as the name of one of my pieces.
