Passion for Painting
〰️
Passion for Painting 〰️
Painting is not just an activity for me; it's my serenity. As a painter, I thrive in the beautiful chaos of painting, finding solace in its messy, vibrate energy. I revel in creating textural masterpieces that infuse depth and dimension into my subjects. No matter if it’s delicately capturing details with a brush, throwing paint on a canvas or applying color in some obscure fashion, painting is my passion
Burn Baby Burn

I love finding new ways to add depth and dimension to my paintings. One of my funnest things I have done and an on going project is burning gunpowder on wood stain to create my dark tones and using paint for lighting. Not only does it look cool in a video but it also adds a one of a kind depth to the painting. Be sure to see 'Creation videos’ page to see more of the creation process.
Black Light Special

Black Light Special 〰️
One of the most complex minded and on going projects I am doing is creating two images in one painting. I archive this by switching between regular acrylics and fluorescent paint pallets to create an image that changes in different lighting. The idea is to have a dark room with black lights and viewers can walk through with tiny flash lights to see the alternate image like in this video.
Sick world

Sick world 〰️
Another on going project that servers as somewhat of a therapeutic endeavor. Started as a painting during the shutdown 2020 then moved to digital format as I added more and more elements that reflect the troubling aspects of the world over the last 4 years. Over hundreds and hundreds of hours it has evolved to near completion.
Zodiac

Mad Apple Gallery proudly presents a recently completed exploration of the Zodiac. Fascinated by the rich symbolism and imagery associated with the zodiac signs, I embarked on a two-year 500+ hour journey to create a series that Combines constellations with live representations, along with their ruling planets, colors, and symbols.
