I hope you enjoy the first installment of my paintings from 2008. I’ve completed about 15 paintings so far this year, in addition to all my design projects. Now that I don’t spend half my days commuting in Los Angeles, I’ve had more time to focus on my painting practice.
I hope you can see the 3d elements in these photos. There is a textural relief that protrudes off the surface of each board.

Everything is still so raw in my mind; I haven’t yet refined my “artist statement.” I think for now it’s enough to say that I’m profoundly inspired by color in nature. I’m not interested in making some kind of critical judgment about our culture, but I do want to offer another perspective on the beautiful things around us. Hopefully my work can make you smile—maybe it will lighten your heart.
