In my current work I try to create excitement while ordering chaos. My paintings are comprised of subjects that are both realistic and abstract, on the edge between here and there. The work is a comment on both thinking and seeing, a study on trying to not see anything for itself alone, but as part of a whole.

My process is a mirror reflection of the finished piece with each step a part of a finished whole. The wood canvas is hand cut and crafted. Then each receives a series of treatments to apply a thin layer of paper texture before being oil primed. This particular series has an antique dress pattern layered in before I paint and sketch with pastels, charcoals and oil paints.

As important as I feel my process is my strength lies in understanding the relationship between light, composition, and design. I feel each finished work displays a distinctive and timeless nature. I strive for a design of harmonious essentials that outlast the subject matter and are both warm and emotionally expressive.

The Giclée Process

From the French word meaning, “spray of ink”, a Giclée is created by using state of the art print technology to reproduce images. By printing the image on media much like that used for the original – usually either canvas of high-quality paper – a piece of artwork stunningly similar to the original is created. With the advent of Giclée, the prints have a higher apparent resolution than lithographs. The artist’s color approval and input are essential for creating the final custom setting for the edition.

The latest advancements in the Giclée process are the work of a sophisticated fine art production facility that utilizes the highest resolution digital printers. This edition of fine art prints is a collaboration between artist and a specially trained printing craftsman.
