 Photograph by Alex Bornstein | It seems the recent road trip I took with my good friend, Alex Bornstein, a writer and photographer, has influenced my most recent work. Traveling the backroads between Denver and Santa Fe—deviating from the less scenic but more efficient route I typically take when travelling between my two studios—Alex and I encountered some stunning scenes. Naturally, three of the four new pieces I have completed since the road trip are landscapes! |
One of my four new pieces, “One More for the Road,” is a departure from almost anything I have ever done. This piece began like many of my other wooden assemblage works, but as I pieced together the chunks of wood and other findings, a story unfolded. I believe the title of the piece makes the subject of the story pretty clear, but I’d love to hear your take on this work. Do you see a story within this piece?
"One More for the Road," 2015.
| In the coming weeks, I plan to finish several more landscape pieces that are almost done, as well as starting work on a funky larger board (roughly 2 x 3 ft) that I collected from a house I renovated awhile back. I also plan to continue experimenting with mixing oil and water based paints (gasp!) and playing with raw pigment. |  An empty "canvas"--found wood from an old property I renovated! |

Please email, call, text, or message me with any and all thoughts. Honest critique is a great teacher! And of course, if you are visiting Denver or Santa Fe, let me know. I’d love to give you a studio tour! |
