I am an artist that thrives off of using a combination of mediums. In this mixed-media series I focus on acrylic and oil paints, along with a hands on transferring technique that is applied to a two inch bordered canvas. These canvas’ black borders allow them to take hold of the space and viewer by offering eye locking contrast and appealing imagery. Many of my images come from my own personal collection of photographs, while others are vintage or chosen for custom art work.

I enjoy doing custom work for families and individuals, and my imagination thrives off the history of the photographs they entrust me with. Each finished canvas entails around 12 days of hands on work through the accumulation of printing, a long process of transferring the ink to the canvas and applying paint to the surface of the transferred image. My work stays true to the relationship between one’s hands and the power of the artwork that can be created between them.
