About:
My experience with a beauty mirror. This painting touches on perceptions of the self and is an overt description of my duality.

Another continuation on the theme of a physiological representation of an emotional sensation. Using a different body suggests a more universal link to the inner emotions of one's mind.

About:
A study of the components of a stainless steel thermos with curled copper wire. The intent was to show a reflection on a cylindrical surface and to infer an interconnectedness of the components of the thermos. These components cannot function to their full potential on their own, and are interdependent on one another. The wire signifies an indirect communication between the elements.

About:
A study of a clock on a piece of blank drawing paper next to a pencil in a glass of water. The intent was to show the refraction of light by breaking up the exterior of the pencil. The relation of the objects and elements to one another is a representation of the force of time and the nature of light. In this way, the humble objects are elevated in status through implication. The composition of the objects also evoke an algebraic equation.

About:
A study of a chrome-plated serving spoon placed on a maroon drape. The intent was to describe the surface of a highly reflective concave object. I also wanted to show the relativity of a personal point of view. There is a play of perception that exists between focus on the object and focus on the reflection on the object's surface. The composition pushes the viewer's eye to the apex of the reflection at the point that is physically furthest away within the object.

A study of a die-cut chrome plated ball placed on a piece of paper with a blue and white ray pattern. The intent was to describe the surface of a highly reflective convex object. I also wanted to show the relativity of a personal point of view. Again, there is a play of perception that exists between focus on the object and focus on the reflection on the object's surface. The composition pulls the viewer's eye forward at points that are physically furthest away from the object and...

A still life representation of landscape elements. Upon closer observation, a dramatic narrative begins to emerge.

About:
A study of herbal tea elements. The intent was to capture a sense of the light through closely observing color relationships. I also wanted play with the idea of cyclical and interconnected relationships and ask the question of what happens when something is missing.

About:
A study of a paper bag with peppers. The playful composition of red and green peppers on a blue drape begins to take on a narrative quality. The isolation of the lone pepper on the blue plate seems to imply a breakdown of communication between the elements.

About:
The intention of this still-life was to represent relationships by comparing differing colors and textures. The yellow and white paper origami sculptures are composed dynamically to infer a sense of tension. The soft folds of the drapery are loosely strewn to convey chaos with a simple empty wooden box standing stoically as to imply a safe harbor in a storm.

About:
This is a painting of my math teacher David Cushman. This painting was done alla prima in three hours. It is an example how I like to balance my understanding of formal elements with a gestural painterly technique. My approach was one of observation and impression. Describing the planes of the human head as they exist in space provides a chance to not only test what you see but what you can remember.

About:
For Josh’s portrait I used a smaller canvas and planned a more ambitious composition. To help myself out I used a small frame set to the proportions of my canvas. Using the frame not only helped to position the portrait but somehow helped isolate the colors as well. This clear definition of the boundaries cut out any ambient light or color and allowed me to accurately judge the various value ranges throughout the entire painting. I also painted a basic under-painting keeping in mind that...

About:
I am always trying new things when painting alla prima but my usual process includes mixing up several clear colors in various values. I start with the simple shapes first and gradually build the values to the highlight. By starting with the simple shapes first, I am forcing myself to recognize not only the overall color of various features, but also their value in relation to the head in space

About:
I find that limiting my palette from time to time helps me appreciate the wider range found in using multiple reds, blues, and yellows in my paintings. I also experimented with tempering the colors used in the flesh by using dark colorful grey mixtures in the background.

About:
Painting Kristina’s portrait was one of my first introductions into the world of portrait club. Learning what it takes to produce a substantial head study in a limited amount of time takes practice and patience to develop. The furious work can be thrilling one minute and devastating the next. I’m pleased with how this early effort turned out.

About:
A narrative painting based on a passage from the non-fiction novel Devil in the White City by Erik Larson. In this painting I wanted to illustrate a sense a dramatic irony. This eerie feeling is heightened through the use of tenebrism.

About:
My first full-color self portrait in oil was produced through observation. The image is based on my reflection and deals with the idea of my own self image as well. Juxtaposing a loaded paint brush physically higher than my tattoos is a declaration of my desire to overcome a self-imposed stigma.
