"My work explores the connection between the artist and the model, the energy exchanged between the two. It's about emotional response, tactile, visceral, abstract, created with a limited color palette, leaving the brush strokes and drips raw and unrefined. It's as much a conversation as a picture, a snapshot of emotion, a thread running between the observer and the observed. Connective Tissue."

Cumulo Lunas

Some­times there are paint­ings where the muse takes over and magic jumps from the sur­face and guides my hand. I didn’t think much of this one when I added the blue green layer. It was truly as mess. I walked by it a few times and then I saw the seashell pop out at me. I nailed to to the wall and the was the Moon, mouth agape and singing in my ear. The clouds formed them­selves with the help of some oils that Whit­ney gave me. This isn’t my usual color palette and I never use flesh color. It worked great for this composition.
