Abstract Paintings
This is a new series of abstract paintings. I decided to make a pivot from my more well known work in ceramics to take time to explore new ideas and techniques I've been thinking of to abstract painting. They are heavily textured with a stalactite like surface. They elude to natural and constructed elements in nature.
Abstract Paintings
These are more paintings from the Abstract Series with detail images.
Droplet Paintings
This series of Acrylic Paintings are comprised of thousands of droplets of acrylic paint. They are primarily abstract but allude to an unknown image. The surface is colorful and dynamic with an effervescent feel. Its about the paint and what the viewer sees in it. They are created during the process of creating the Abstract Painting series.
