FINE ART: My paintings address the beauty of common objects, nature, and decaying infrastructure. I garner nostalgia and employ many techniques to achieve the desired result. Viscous paint applications with a palate-knife are reminiscent of textural walls, my brush application delineates the fine detail of a pair of vintage reading glasses. My colors are inspired by muted tints of institutional environments or old photographs. Beyond the canvas, I’ve extended to sculptures, installations, and photography.
