New Large Textural Paintings

I’m thrilled to give you a sneak peek at some of my new paintings, with the biggest one being 40″ x 50″. I’ve been having fun exploring layering and focusing on texture in my work. I love creating and burying hidden colors and marks, then uncovering them later in the process—it feels like a treasure hunt! Each piece becomes a unique artifact that I can share personally with all of you. I can’t wait to hear what you think.

TIPS for COLLECTORS

I am excited to work with you on custom-commissioned pieces for your home or space. It is helpful to know if your space requires a cool palette with pure whites and fresh colors such as those that are influenced by the beach or Spring flowers. Or if your dwelling is more of a warm palette, which includes creamy whites, warm wood tones, and the colors of nature such as in a desert sunset. That being said many of my paintings have both warm and cool colors and look at home in multiple settings.

One collector wanted strong blues and primary colors. They recently painted their wall a dark green, and the paintings still look awesome because small areas of blue were mixed with gold paint to make green! They also love the pop of the white mats against the dark wall. Many collectors I have worked with enjoy pure saturated colors, and I am here for it!

Please reach out if you are interested in a commission or seeing these new works in more detail.
