| WORK |
|
| PHOTOGRAPHY series |
| I've always taken lots of photos of random things to use as inspiration for my paintings & other art pieces. Recently, thanks to the app InstaGram, I've started to share my photography with a wider audience. I love doing extreme close-ups & cropping pics to show surprising lines & angles. I enjoy making people see things differently through my lense. |

|
| CLEAN SLATE series |
| I was painting white letters in guesso pirmer paint as texture on canvas with the intention of painting over them with color. I liked how the white on white gave such a clean look with slight texture like wainscoting an old house/apartment walls & decided to leave them that way. |

|
| QUICK SWIPE series |
| In my Quick Swipe series, my paintwork goes fully abstract. Using a palette knife & oil paint I spread the drips of paint with quick swiping motions, allowing whatever shapes to be formed. Like a Rorschach ( ink blot) Test, I can't help but imagine i see figures, birds & faces in the quick paint swipe. Painting this series is fun for me, because the painting is free, physical & not planned; they are created intuitively, one color to the next. |

|
| MIXED MEDIA TAPED DOWN series |
| As I was using alpha-numeric stencils in my last series, I would tape the stencils down, paint over the tape & then pull the tape off. In this series, I started liking the look/texture that the tape produced on the canvas. Leaving the tape on the canvas gave an additional layer & focal point to the images. |
|
|
|
| CONTINUAL PATTERN series |
| For a while, I have been doodling this geometric pattern in my sketch books & enjoying the meditative, labyrinthine quality of the connecting lines. In this series I brought that pattern to canvas, and experimented with how the lines worked in paint. |
|
|
|
| STENCIL LAYER & BLINDS series |
In addition to Blind Contour Drawings in my paintings, in this series I started adding random alpha-numeric stencils to the compositions. The stencils add a depth to the paintings, sometimes as a background pattern, and in other times layering over the drawings, hiding parts of the image from view.
