Painting Series

Drilling down on the basics of my materials, these works are all made with home made oil paint. In the slowness of grinding dry pigment into linseed oil, gazing at it for 30 minutes straight, the nuance of color comes into focus. The smallest interactions and temperature of color in each piece is something I really focused on.

Women, in the broadest sense, is a motif that I return to again and again in my work. Sometimes the reference is a high heel shoe, a breast or a pair of lips. I’ve been inspired by the representations of women in ancient fertility figurines, De Kooning’s “women” series, and through my own experiences living in a body.
