"Embrace / Shirtsleeves" Painting

I am a visual artist dedicated to the dual exploration of graphic form and impressionistic light. My practice is a constant dialogue between the studio and the outdoors. In my graphic works, I apply a designer’s eye to oil and acrylic paints, using bold color and structured forms informed by my background in art history. My contemporary Impressionist pieces are based on plein air studies that translate the shifting light of nature into expressive brushwork. By specializing in medium and small-scale works, I create versatile art that integrates seamlessly into modern living and workspaces. Framing Availability and Options Each piece of artwork that is available for purchase can be professionally framed upon request. This framing service comes with an additional charge, but it guarantees that your artwork will arrive ready to hang and customized according to your preferences. Choosing the framing option streamlines the process and ensures your piece is display-ready from the moment it arrives. Gold-Leaf Frames For certain paintings, a gold-leaf frame is already included. These frames are selected to complement and elevate the look of the artwork, adding a touch of elegance and making the overall presentation more striking. Gold-leaf frames are especially attractive to collectors who desire a more distinguished and refined display for their art. Unframed Paintings The majority of my paintings are sold without frames. This approach is intended to keep shipping costs lower and gives you the flexibility to choose a frame that best fits your personal style and home decor. By offering paintings unframed, you have the opportunity to select the perfect frame that complements your unique aesthetic. Some paintings are also designed to be hung immediately, without the need for an additional frame. These include pieces created on MDF panels with pre-drilled hang holes and certain works on gallery-profile stretcher bars, as outlined in their online listings. This allows for a straightforward and convenient display right out of the box.
