In December 2022, American Art Collector featured me in their Artist Focus section, highlighting my evolving body of work. This article explores my transition from painting Indigenous cultures to my current focus on landscapes, cityscapes, and portraiture, as well as the techniques that bring texture, energy, and movement to my paintings.
I often combine thick impasto oils with palette knives, brayer rollers, crayon, and graphite, using techniques like sgraffito, scumbling, and splattering to add depth. But at the heart of it, my work is about balancing planning with spontaneous creativity—a process that keeps each piece alive with energy.
I’m honored to have my work featured in American Art Collector!
