Process
I gravitate to the abstract, but I’ve been known to creep towards representative art sometimes. I’m currently focused on fluid art, a process which allows paint to flow, sink, rise, mix and repel based on color density, viscosity, medium and substrate. Fluid art gives me the freedom to be intentional with my mark-making or to let the paint decide what to do and where to go in a more spontaneous fashion. Usually, my process lies somewhere between the two.
All my art is 100 percent human created and 100 percent AI free.
For each work I carefully select my color palette and plan my general approach, and then drip, brush, pour, syringe or blow, or often a combination of methods, to lay one or more colors down on to my pre-prepared surface.
I use highly fluid, highly pigmented paints, which allows me to move colors independently and/or mix them together on the canvas. The paint often takes on a mind of its own. The result is an organic, dynamic work with subtle hues, gradients and shapes. I primarily use fluid acrylics and acrylic inks on canvas, wood and aluminum panels. My preferred professional brands are Golden, Amsterdam Expert, Liquitex Professional, Winsor & Newton and Sennelier. I also use studio brands for my prototypes and mock-ups, usually Lukas and Amsterdam Basics.
I build my own larger canvases, using high quality acrylic primed cotton with a minimum weight of 10-12 oz. I construct my own stretcher bars using premium grade kiln-dried pine. I gesso my canvases — sometimes up to 6 layers — based on the effects I’m seeking for a particular art work.
