10″x10″ painted burlap inside wood panel

This is a mixed media portrait of a friend. The painted burlap floats inside a painted wood panel.

Restraint

Restraint

24″x24″ acrylic on wood panel

My first large piece in quite a while, this is a reflection of personal boundaries.

Memory

Memory

10″x10″ acrylic on woodboard

This small painting titled “Memory” on wood board represents how one’s path is shaded by one’s past actions.

Shadow Sketching

ShadowSketch

5″x8″ pen drawing

I’ve stepped away from book sketching for a while, but I think it is time to return.  I enjoy how much less pressure to work without error.  “Woops.  Next page!”

Atomic Life

I have my first ever solo show at the Dole Mansion in Crystal Lake, Illinois. I’ll be showing over 60 mid-century inspired pieces in two separate Galleries (Dole and Sage). It should be a big night!
