Acrylic on Canvas

This large scale work on canvas was created with a grant from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation.

The stretcher bars are 1.5" thick, there are two notched cross braces, and the canvas is heavy duty #10 double weave duck cotton.

This work ships in a wooden crate, includes hanging hardware, and is ready to hang.

For a $900 discount, ask to have these canvases removed from the stretcher bars and shipped in a tube.

Local pick-up or delivery, in Portland, Oregon, is also an option.

My works represent a constant outpouring of singular impressions: clearly isolated images that capture flashes of emotion, changes in perception, or moments of recognition. I give fleeting thoughts as much consideration as monumental ideas: nothing is more important than anything else and every small thing has its place.

My process is modeled after the methods of improvisational theater. I make a first mark, then ask myself, “if this is true, what else is true?” I repeat this process with the addition of each new element, using personal experience to shape the final image.

Each image represents an isolated narrative, yet all the images together tell a larger story. My accountability for the truth and permanence of this story is an important part of my identity as an artist. This is why I make all my works in sequential series, and never destroy or hide any of them.
