Contemporary Geometric Abstract Artist
Commissioning an artwork is so simple. Once a design is approved, I create a custom page for you to view in-progress images of your project. So you can see how I take your project from concept all the way to completion.
An artwork commission is a personalized experience and I can help guide you through the easy process of commissioning artwork for your home or business. If you would like to find out more information regarding commissioning an artwork, DM me to get the conversation started.
I’m thrilled to announce my newest representation with the Jenn Tough Gallery . Jen Tough Gallery was formed in the Bay Area early 2017 and is currently based in Santa Fe, NM. We’re known for thinking outside of the box with our San Francisco popups, art fair collectives and producing an all-female art fair called The Ladies Room.
Ever wonder what 60 hours of work looks like in 10 seconds? It looks like this!
Well, I’m thrilled with how this commission came out for “Charter Communications”. The painting is titled “Long Island Sound”, 60″ x60″, Acrylic on Canvas. Thank you Indiewalls for introducing my work to this client.
Being present in the moment is perhaps one of the biggest challenges of modern-day society. We have grown to value overanalyzing the past and anticipating the future, so much so that we’re unable to take a moment, stop what we’re doing, and simply breathe.
Often when we are working on art, in the process of creation, we’re doing what we love most, yet we can get stuck inside our heads, unable to think beyond the looming commitments, tasks, and life responsibilities.
We can get hung up on a comment we received, a piece of information that’s been shared, a thought from the past, a worry about the future, … We’re hung up on the proper colors of paint, the proper size of a canvas, the proper lighting in the studio, …
Sometimes our inner critic’s roaring jabs are impossible to muffle and what follows is a crushing feeling of not being present, for allowing ourselves to be distracted. For not tuning into the present moment and connecting to your creativity on a much deeper level.
You have to let go of your fears, worries, and anxieties because they stand in the way of your creative flow. They prevent you from listening to your intuition and connecting with your inner wisdom. There is no powerful time than the present. Learn to be mindful of your sensations just as much as you are conscious of your thoughts.
I find myself often running to the next thing on my list. This is especially true when I have a looming deadline. However, if I find myself frantically losing my Sh*t, I go for walks. My walk took me past lots of graffiti yesterday and boy did I not only find inspiration but I was joyfully present in the moment.
What actions do you take to be in the present moment?
The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness. -John Muir
I have a deep appreciation and connection to nature. Daily, I step outside of my studio to listen to the sounds the trees make and the songs the birds sing. This is one of many conscious choices I make to stay grounded and in the present moment. This piece titled “Nature is Calling” is 30″ x 30″, Acrylic Paint on Canvas.
