Who Shook the Soda
- 10 x 10 in
This acrylic painting on wrapped canvas explores the energy and unpredictability of abstraction. Bold colors, dynamic contrasts, and textured layers combine to create a composition that feels both explosive and balanced, capturing a moment of tension and release. Vivid reds, blues, and whites dominate the piece, their interplay evoking a sense of movement and spontaneity. The textures, built through impasto techniques and expressive brushstrokes, add depth and dimensionality, mirroring the chaotic yet intentional energy of the creative process. This work invites viewers to experience the raw, visceral nature of abstraction—where structure and spontaneity collide, and emotion takes precedence over representation. It is a celebration of color, movement, and the unfiltered expression of a singular moment.

BALD HEAD (3)
- 11 x 14 in
This abstract painting on linen wrapped canvas captures the essence of Bald Head Island through a map-like composition that reflects the fluid relationship between land and water. Layered textures, gestural strokes, and metallic paint evoke shifting tides, sunlight on water, and the island’s ever-changing contours. Blues and earthy tones dominate the palette, blending to suggest currents, landforms, and the natural movement of the elements. Scraping techniques and layered applications add depth and complexity, mirroring the terrain’s visual richness. Rather than a literal map, this piece offers an emotional interpretation of the island—an exploration of its dynamic boundaries and the harmony between earth and water. It invites viewers to navigate the composition, discovering layers of texture, form, and connection.

- 18 x 14 in
This painting on wrapped gallery canvas explores the idea of time and connection. The three figures, set in a vibrant, open landscape, evoke the interplay between the past, present, and future. Their forms blend with the surrounding environment, reflecting how time and experience are deeply intertwined. The piece features bold, expressive brushstrokes and layered textures that give it depth and movement. The inspiration for this piece is captured in Albert Einstein’s quote: “The distinction between the past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.”
