Who Shook the Soda
White Dog Green Woods
- 20 x 20 in
This acrylic painting on linen-wrapped canvas reflects the layered terrain of western Pennsylvania, blending abstraction and suggestion to capture the energy of the natural world. Greens and teals dominate the palette, evoking the dense forest, while earthy tones and fragmented white forms hint at sunlight and the fleeting presence of a dog within the landscape. Loose, sweeping brushstrokes contrast with refined, layered applications, creating depth and movement that mirrors the light and shadow of the woods. The piece invites viewers to experience the mood and rhythm of the forest—alive, textured, and constantly shifting—while rooted in a deep sense of place. White Dog Green Woods was named as a Finalist in the Tervarna Nature 2024 International Juried Competition.

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.”

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.
