Studio Wall Storm Mural

When moving on from my studio of 4 years, I painted this storm mural in four days on my free-standing studio wall before it was demolished.

This last moment of artistic expression was the celebration of the joy and freedom that this beautiful studio gave to me, and with its destruction I let it go as I move into a new studio and begin the next chapter.

Paintings

During this Pollock-Krasner Grant year, I have translated my focus on light into both oil and acrylic paintings.

En Plein Air Monotypes

To delve into this new and exciting medium, I’ve been traveling to natural landscapes to create monotypes from life, from Brooklyn to Austin and beyond.
