I am delighted to announce that I will have two pieces from my "Handkerchief Series" in the Quadratfuß Exhibition!  The exhibition will be at NX² Gallery in Berlin, Germany, and travel to Budapest, Hungary as part of the gallery's submission to 2016 Art Budapest.  I am honored to join 65 international artists from 20 countries at this year's Berlin edition!

The Banff Centre + CAMIBAart + Kleindorf Art

My first three weeks at The Banff Centre have been wonderful!  So far, I have completed a lot of process work focused on analyzing the planar geometry of the Canadian Rockies.  The unique stratigraphy of the mountains has inspired a new way of thinking about layers and connections within my current body of work.  I will be adding more photos of my work as my process develops, so stay tuned!

Here are some process shots from my studio: 













Negative space

  1. Invisible connective tissue surrounding an object of perception, conceived in terms of its relativistic effect.








Strata
[strat-uh]
n., pl. 


  1. Contradictory layers of paint that exist one upon another.
  2. Layer; level: an allegory with many strata of meaning.





Painting hack 
[pān′tĭng hăk]

"Techno Pop Painting" !!

Techno Pop

  1. The ninth studio album by the electronic group Kraftwerk, originally released in 1986.
  2. A postmodernist style of painting that began in the early twenty-first century.  Techno Pop aims to express the contradictory nature of surface by employing painting hacks.  Aesthetically, it combines the visual elements of cyber culture, geometry, perspective, and brightness to create sensory delights that may exist in multiple spatiotemporal contexts.
