About The Artwork
**NOTE: This piece is committed to an exhibition and will not be available for shipping before September 1, 2017.** This is one of my largest pieces -- six feet (1.83 m) square. This piece continues a series of pure paintings: the "subject" is a painting. Yet it is not an abstract work: it does not derive from or distill anything besides itself. It is what it is. The painting came first, the name came after, and the name honors the painting as unique and specific. After living with this painting for a while, I cannot shake a sense of connection with Gerald Murphy, even though my work is nothing like his. Murphy painted specific objects incredibly precisely whereas I work without an external subject and overwhelmingly intuitively. This piece eluded me for a long while, and after many long painting sessions, I finally started rotating the canvas on its frame. The change of perspective unlocked the painting's secret for me and I completed it confidently in one last long painting session.

United States
A native of San Antonio, I recently lived in San Francisco for 18 years and previously lived in New York and Paris. I am deeply committed to city culture both today and through the centuries, especially through the lenses of architecture, music, literature, history, and of course, art. While I appreciate abstraction and distilling to essences, I am more excited by the richness of complex layering and simultaneous meanings.
