Burn Baby Burn
During this challenge I have been burning my metaphorical candle at both ends. Each week I have come up with more ideas…this time representing both my state of being, and of my state of residence. Right now my beloved Washington State is literally ablaze. Its all on the other side of the mountains right now…but … Continue reading
Goodbye and Hello
Perhaps one of the most interesting observations I’ve had over the past few weeks is how people and events in my life affect the art I produce.

There are seven basic activities that go into each series I work on. Each one of these steps could take hours, days, or even weeks to complete. Concept inspiration … Continue reading
Prototyping the Next
I’m currently working on a challenge to create many small works that are affordable for just about anyone…I think I like the direction I’m heading with my paintings. Enjoy my progress so far. The inspiration for the two paintings below are the patterns rain makes on windows and bamboo forests. Continue reading
