Every piece is made with the movement of music flowing through me. A mix of genres, emotions, and vibes. You are welcome to experience some of that if you'd like. I have shared a custom playlist and a survey of some of the music used in these acts of creation. If playlist doesn't appear due to browser settings, find it here.
Faces Of...
Evolution of Geometry
 "No Kings No Tyrants No AI Lords" 48Wx36L, oil on canvasThis one was tedious to finish, the binary is the title and real binary. Some touch ups needed. But it's there. The main thrust of this was made this past spring, after Trumps inauguration, the ramp up of ICE raids and "AI" being pushed upon us. A reflection of the context of our society and a world we should work to avoid. 2025 |  "The offering" 22Wx30L, oil on oil paper2025 |  "Effi's Dancer" 22Wx30L, oil on oil paperBeen a challenging one to figure out. Still needs to dry, and gotta do some oiling out, but I think it's pretty much there. Maybe a couple lil touch ups here and there. 2025 |
|---|---|---|
 "Sussian Tongue In The Divine" 22Wx30L, oil on oil canvasMuch of this was created during a live painting event, Rips and Spins 2025 |  "Vitruvius's Equipoise" 22x30" oil on oil paper.Started as my first live painting session of a local jazz band played more hours later. 2025 |  "The Lovers Way-station" 40x40, oil on woodThis one I started in acrylic, but finished in oil, quite an evolving piece, a continuation of pushing against comfort points in my compositions. 2025 |
 "The Utility Room of Epiphany's" 40x40, oil on canvassBeen a challenging one to figure out. Still needs to dry, and gotta do some oiling out, but I think it's pretty much there. Maybe a couple lil touch ups here and there. 2025 |  "Dvořák Symphony number 10 in LSD Minor" 40x40", oil on canvasChallenging myself to push beyond such structured pieces here, ironically through listening to Dvořák (as opposed to listening to jazz, as I do much of the time painting). It flows with the melodies of the strings, horns, and pianos and creates an almost psychedelic dreamscape to wander through. Eerie in its liminal spaces and emptiness. 2025 |  "The Rescue of the Colossus Armor" 30Wx48L oil on canvassProtect the knowledge of the armory, we've strayed, but it's not too late to save it. 2025 |
 Sisyphus No More 22Wx30L oil on oil paper2025 |
