Paint and More Paint

When I paint, I expore the colors and texture of paint upon varied surfaces. It helps to share my philosphies, thoughts, and ideas through a medium rich with options not focused solely on recreating an image. Drying colors combinations into plastic pieces capable of molding or cutting into shapes allows me to take the liquidity of paint beyond the brush. It allows me to feel the paint directly on my hands as I create.

Childhood Scene

I have carefully crafted this painting from dried paint elements I have cut, arranged, and affixed onto a painted sky background. The scene deliberately reflects the pictures I drew in my youth of grass upon the horizon, clouds in the sky, and flowers popping up bigger than life.

Wallpaper with Flowers

This piece evokes The Yellow Wallpaper (a story by Charlotte Perkins Gilman) through its absence of true yellow. The wallpaper stripes consist of complementary blue and shades of green and orange dependent on a yellow hue. The flowers, created of dried acrylic paint, mimic the desire to escape the tw-dimensionality of the wall's surface.

I was introduced to The Yellow Wallpaper through a choreographed dance based on the story. My daughter had the privilege of performing in this work, opening our understanding of what horror can mean when women lose their agency.

Wet coffee grounds left to saturate the canvas provide the warm brown stain in the background. Muted tones with occasional bursts of color energy interact in harmony.

Wallpaper - Partridge Family

More yellow wallpaper in a two-tone homage to the Partridge Family bus.

Cheap removeable stickers placed upon the yellow mainly blocked the blue overlay but allowed bleeding. The splotches, wood grain, brush prints, and hair stuck onto the painted wood remind the viewer that our lives are not adorned with perfect wallpaper.

You

You

A simple, almost monochrome homage to a sweet, derpy, and loveable dog. Goldendoodles - say what you will - are sweet and loyal. This painting, purposely simplistic to capture the essence of undeserved devotion.
