Birds & Botany

I have started a series of work where I give life to death. It brings me joy to celebrate death by adding beautiful things that represent rebirth. Whether it be birds or blossoms to the drift I paint, I have discovered I'm enjoying the process of adorning my subjects.

Death Rebirthed

This is a collection of work that is inspired by the massive beached driftwood I find on the west coast. I go here so often that this collection seems to never end.

Beached Giants

One night I was laying in bed and at the time I was in a funk, an artist block. Where am I going to go to find new subject matter? I was not inspired by a thing. As I start falling asleep I hear children outside of my house yelling and screaming. A large amount of them. The sound is like driving by a playground full of playing children. I live out in the country so no children except my own in bed asleep are around. I open my eyes. I still hear the voices. I'm feeling a little crazed by then, but they start to introduce themselves as the trees right outside my house and they are begging for me to paint them. "Paint me! Paint ME!" I go outside and acknowledge their cries and the next day I start the tree series

Talking Trees

These paintings represent the foliage I experience in New Mexico. The high desert in between the mountain ranges are covered in the beautiful, sweet smelling sagebrush. I study their twists, movement and glorify their size on canvas with color and life.

A Dancing Desert

Landscape paintings of driftwood, rock formation and skeletal bones discovered.

Drift, Rock & Bone
