At the beginning of last summer, I started making a lot of drawings, hoping to generate new ideas for my sculptures. Instead, I began developing works on paper using charcoal pencils, colored pencils, and oil paints. These explorations also led to the creation of 2.5D pieces constructed with ash flooring planks. I will present this new group of 2D and 2.5D work in my upcoming solo exhibition at 65Grand in Chicago in January 2026. 12x8 inches #oilpainting #workonpaper #contemporaryart

This year, my obsession with dahlias has grown enormous. They bring me joy, wonder, and a quiet daily solace. I arranged my favorites in my own ‘Duct Vase’ from 2012.

In the summer of 2020, right after the pandemic began, I spent days learning to sew my own clothes and masks, and creating porcelain tile works. I wanted to explore drawing in clay and collaging with small elements (cut-out and painted). I was also particularly interested in working with the color pink, achieved through the interaction of chromium oxide and tin oxide. These tiles are currently being showcased in the group show In Slant, at @peep_space curated by Ian Etter @ianetter in Tarrytown, NY.
