Seaweed l & II

Dimensions:
30" x 12"
Medium: Oil & Acrylic

Color & form have always let me walk away from a canvas. If the flow seems right, than I believe It is done.

Grey Poupon

2010

I still love Mr. Jackson Pollock, he comes out every now and then.

Look a little closer

Just a close up,

Copper Drip

Medium: Oil & Acrylic on Canvas
Dimensions: 30" x 40"
2010

Copper Drip, is one of those paintings you need to actually see close up. The texture is what makes the true essence of the piece. I should post another photo showing the depth it has. I have recently been working with fabrics in the Interior Design industry. I never realized how much texture in a fabric can make a tan or beige a look interesting.

HooKed

Dimensions: 5' x 5'
Medium: Oil & Acrylic
2008

I created this piece when I was working downtown at Hughes Management on Market Street, downtown San Diego. One of the first painting's I have started using metallic paints. This style of dripping & pouring was a new way for me to translate color.

Cow Series

Cow

Medium: Oil& Acrylic
Dimension: 16 x 20"
2008

This series is one of three, I love the bright colors in this piece. I never planned on this looking like a cow, it just happened. Had a lot of fun with these.

Drift Down

Medium: Oil & Canvas
2003

This piece is reminding of my life right now, yet the opposite of drifting down. This painting was created many years ago when I was in a very positive place in my life. I feel now through hard work and dedication I'm close to being back there again.

Olive

Sneak Peek

Medium: Oil, Gold leaf, Resin

Dimension: 12" x 30"

2010

These paintings are one of my newest creations. There are four at this point, two more are in the works. Incorporating the oil, gold leaf, and resin has given the oil paint a look I have never achieved before. The high gloss lacquer finish gives these pieces an edge that makes the work pristine. The gold leaf acts like a piece of jewelry. I messed up one of my favorite ones by of course overworking a piece yet again. (I tend to do that often)... It's amazing what you can do when you first have the idea to do it, and then get obsessed with that idea and make it happen. I love these new ones, and this is just a little sneak peek towards what is to come soon.

Lollipops

Medium: Oil & Acrylic
Dimensions: 16" x 24"
2009

This painting is one of a series of three. Although they are simple, the other two work well with Lollipops. I will post the other two tomorrow. Thanks for checking out my work.

The other one.

Bronze Martini I

Medium: Oil & Acrylic

Dimension: 20" x 24"

2009

This painting was created last summer. One of the first of this newer style. The colors reflect on how I was feeling...positive and energetic. There is one more sister painting to this one

Snow Angel

Dimensions: 8' x 9'
Medium: Oil & Acrylic
2004

This is my largest painting I have created. I've been working smaller in series due to changing up my style a bit. I'm ready to start working big again.

Le Fleur II

Katana II

Katana I

Medium: Oil & Acrylic
Dimensions: 24" x 34"
2007

When this painting dried along with the sister painting Katana II, it was truly a blessing to see they had dried better than expected. It was one of those moments when I guess when you give birth and it's the unexpected and it turns out beautiful.

Changing it up, using an easle again....

MGMT Series

Blue Hole

Medium: Oil & Acrylic on canvas
Dimensions: 6' x 4'
2004

I love the blue in this painting, the dark hole in the middle is created from using polyurethane. I made this painting in N.Y. about the same time I made the other large pieces.

Pencil & Charcoal Drawings

Stained Glass (Series)

Medium: Oil & Acrylic
Dimension: 20" x 24"
2009

This is the full series of Stained Glass I, each one reflects a personality of the other.

Cotton Candy I

Medium: Oil & Acrylic
Size: 20" x 24"
2009

This painting is one of three, created this past summer. The layering process gives the finish a thick luster. I started using copper and silver metallic finishes to highlight and pop certain areas. The bright bursts of color bring the image together.

Graffiti City

Medium: Oil, Acrylic & Polyurethane

Dimensions: 24" x 36"

2009

My memoirs of New York are a reflection in this painting. I have always enjoyed the diverse culture as well as translation of others art. Waiting for a subway to come was always the time I would daze out into the dirty subways and get a lot of inspiration. I always enjoyed looking at the grime that the years of pollution created. N.Y.'s subway terminals have had over 100 years of history that is hard to clean.

Open Air

Medium: Oil & Acrylic

Dimensions: 6' x 8'

2004

This painting is one of my first large paintings after graduating school. I love this one due to the color selection as well as the size. I'm going to start doing large pieces again. This was a piece done in N.Y., the studio I was working in had nice dry heat which made the layering process a lot easier for me. Here in San Diego I can't seem to get the same effect because of the moisture in the air. Due to the size, I believe this one would look great in contemporary loft or a hotel. It needs an open environment to enjoy it to the fullest.
