"Arrival"

2019
​Acrylic on Canvas
24" x 18"

---

Inspired by images of a star emerging from its dusty cocoon, this painting features dozens of layers of undiluted color that swirl and surround the central, energized orb.

With the fewest layers, the yellow focal point creates a sense of depth by allowing the weave of the canvas to be visible.

​The final layers of teal and yellow add saturated, rough texture that contribute a vibrant and expansive energy. 

"Arrival" was completed without the use of black or white paint, in an effort to intensify the distinctive color contrast. 

​Available for purchase. List price: $1200

"Resurgence"

2020
​Acrylic & Ink on Canvas
29.5" x 24"

---

In March 2020, "Resurgence" began with gentle washes, soft tones, and a wide-open doorway.

​Over the next five months, as the pandemic progressed, the opening evolved into an overgrown portal of aggressive, organic obstructions.

​What was once an outlet became a barrier,
an obstacle instead of a pathway, allowing only a glimpse of the light, life, and color beyond. 

"The Black Nebula
​of the Eagle Spire"

2018
​Acrylic on Canvas
16" x 20"

---

Appearing like a winged creature on a pedestal, the Eagle Spire is a billowing cosmic cloud rising from a stellar nursery. 

Stars in the Eagle Nebula are born into a chaotic neighborhood of swirling gasses and dust. Ghostly streamers can be seen boiling off the surface, creating a highlighting haze against the glow of distant gases. 

The colors are produced by powerful ultraviolet light; the fiery orange is comprised of glowing hydrogen. The painting is inspired by an image taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope.
