Irregular squares and rectangles arranged like tiles and glued to canvas. Covered with a dark blue glaze that sinks into the cracks between each shape.

Developing texture with collage on a canvas. So many ideas swirling through my head.

An important part of my studio practice includes working fast and loose on large sheets of watercolor paper. This helps me develop my mark making, color palettes and overall visual language. Plus, it's fun! #studiopractice #artforyourhome #worksonpaper #art #mixedmediaart #collage #chicagopainter

Although I normally paint abstract work, sometimes I'm inspired by Nature. "Capriccio" is 40x60 inches and I'm bringing it to Port Clinton Art Fest in Highland Park, Illinois. August 23 & 24, 10am-5pm. Find me at booth 223 on 2nd Street near Central Ave
