About the work
To the left (or above on mobile) is my “first love” as an artist – the relief print. The immediacy and finality of the medium is so liberating with its black & white contrast mixed with chine-collé for a color pop. The substrate that accepts the removal of wood or linoleum with a cutting tool does not accept an eraser, hence the finality. This love of the black & white inspired the below (ongoing) collection of sketches, where contrast is key.
Medium: Lino-cut + chine-collé

About the work
My first ever oil landscape was an absolute disaster. So much so that I stripped the canvas from its stretcher bars in hopes that at least the frame of wood could be redeemed. I had driven out to the Santa Ynez Valley hoping for divine artistic inspiration with an, as of yet, untested medium (by me). The resulting failure gave me a much more valuable lesson than any success ever could, a curiosity and desire to attempt to tame the complexities of oil paint and the myriad mediums that carry it.
Below is an exploration and an ongoing journey.
