Sneak Peek into My Latest Work: Strange and Unusual Creatures

I’ve been painting and wanted to send an update about the storytelling component of my work. I like to base each series on a particular vision that inspires a deeper exploration of a specific theme. I think this allows me to create work that is more meaningful and authentic and helps me focus the creative path through the work.

Exploring Texture: New Artwork for My Upcoming Show

I’m excited to share my latest mixed media artwork with you – a star on an 8×8 cradled panel. This piece is part of a series I’m working on for an upcoming solo show this summer, and I’m thrilled with how it turned out.

Bounty – A Still Life Exploration; Series Complete

It seems that every harvest season I return to the forms of fruit and vegetables in an ever evolving exploration of their forms and colors. I’ve closed the series and am excited to offer it to you as a PDF eBook/catalog for the first time!

A Whole New World! This is what a canvas usually A Whole New World!
This is what a canvas usually looks like when I feel it's ready for a new creature to live in it. The 
next step on this mixed media work in progress is to draw and then paint the next strange 
creature that wants to come into being. 
This is one of the largest pieces in the series for the July show and also one of the last few works before I move into serious finishing mode.

A few splashes of paint scraped across the fresh gesso and it's the beginning of a new painting.
I'll add more marks, painting and layers but there's a moment of potential that I really enjoy at the beginning.

That's what it feels like when one of these strange creatures comes into being in my studio. This fellow still needs a fair amount of work to be finished and bring his full personality out. 

This is another in the current series I'm working on for my July show: El Circo de Animales Extraños...The circus of strange animals.
