My style is heavily influenced by an earlier, formal education in the discipline of silkscreen printmaking and is reminiscent of the culture and art movements occurring when I was growing up; 60’s pop and 70’s psychedelic.   It is a simple study of contour line defining blocks of color, created by multiple thin layers of acrylic/gouache paint.

The paintings are of easily recognizable subjects and are often narrative, employing a variety of symbols that are sometimes camouflaged. Examples include a bird, heart, lips, embryo, halo, as well as elements that are figurative or animalistic.

My current work draws from 5 years of experience working in the motorsports industry and is an exploration of painting in my style but with some of the same materials and processes used to create F1 and Indycars.  With a background in printmaking, it feels natural to me to work in this manner and I am fascinated with depicting something as organic and fragile as a flower on such a high-tech, indestructible surface. For more about the process and materials...

Pop Art Orchid Series

I hope to convey in this collection the qualities I am drawn to in orchids; the charm and eccentricity as well as the mystique surrounding their origin.  As an artist, I have been seduced by the infinite number of hybrids arising, giving me the freedom to create my own variety and still have the viewer recognize an orchid.
