The Language of Texture

Texture is where the voice of the painting lives. It is the breath beneath the surface, the echo of movement, the evidence of a hand guided by instinct.

Drafting Layers

My painting process typically involves preparing the the underneath layers of the painting to achieve a smooth surface for the final touches. Producing rich and natural textures is an essential part of my painting process.
