My home away from home. I've attempted to translate my deep roots (pun intended) from the woods of Western NY into something palpable through the use of gold leaf, pressed grass, repurposed bark, acrylics, oils, silicone, and resin on canvas.
These intricate pieces vary in size from 4' x 2', 4' x 3', and 6' x 5', with a strong sculptural component.

...of color and texture. Taking a departure from my usual representational style, my abstract pieces allow me the expression of freedom of form in an adventurous and spirited way. The arbitrary way with which I blend techniques and mediums (often rotating the canvas as I work), gives birth to an unexpected compilation of color, texture, and design.
