How These Works Are Made
Each painting on this site is created by hand in the studio using a process-led approach. The work begins without a fixed image or plan and develops intuitively through the act of painting itself.
Most works are painted alla prima, meaning they are completed in a single, continuous session. This approach allows movement, color, and texture to evolve naturally, without overworking or revising the surface after the fact. Decisions are made in the moment, responding to what is already present on the canvas.
The materials vary from piece to piece and often include acrylic paint, charcoal, oil paint sticks, and, at times, spray paint. These materials are layered, drawn into, and partially obscured, leaving visible traces of the process of adding and subtracting. Marks remain exposed rather than corrected, allowing the history of the painting to stay present in the finished work, but really there are no rules…
Rather than aiming to represent a specific subject, the paintings are built through gestures, shapes, and shifts in tone. Open forms are allowed to suggest meaning without fixing it. The result is work that can be interpreted differently by each viewer and can change over time as it is lived with.
Because of this process, every painting is one of a kind and cannot be repeated. Even when similar materials or formats are used, the conditions, decisions, and physical movements involved are unique to that moment.
You can view available original paintings in the Gallery Shop, or explore individual works to see how this process resolves differently from piece to piece.
