Follow the evolution of my art-making journey as I explore color, texture, and multi-layered collage. Thus far, my approach has been largely exploratory and experimental. However, the work does gravitate towards a few styles and subject choices, which I’ve parsed into four collections.
I love to layer images and textures over one another and blend them into a digitally blended chine collé.
This collection is at the center of my efforts to blend traditional technique with the opportunities technologies provide.
Portraits present a fulcrum for experimentation with techniques and stylistic expression with an inherently compelling subject
These more representational pieces juxtapose figures against landscapes in ways I find intriguing.
As 2023 came to a close, I found myself searching for a new direction. Having spent decades leading retail design teams for large corporations, I realized I didn’t want to return to the world of endless meetings, travel, and emails that required me to delegate the creative work I love to others.
Art, for me, is less about rendering a preconceived idea and more about embarking on a journey of discovery. My process typically begins with a spark—a detail that catches my eye, a sketch on my iPad or a fleeting moment I capture with my phone camera.
When I create art, I occasionally find myself drawn into a narrative about the subject, akin to the imagined personas that pop into my mind when I glimpse an enigmatic person through a car window or seated at a nearby table in a café.
