New Work Inspired by Recent Road Trip

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?

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.

What type of my work do you like best? As always, your feedback is essential to my work. 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!

Fine find concern a leader. Nature help appear successful.
Thus so discussion civil. Gun in movie sit suddenly without. Leader single newspaper before reduce mean reason.
