Cosmic Mother
Oil on Wood
2020
This painting was developed from 2018-2020. The nautilus is a recurring theme in my work, symbolic of simultaneous expansion and contraction.
"Eternity is in love with the productions of time"
-William Blake
There is, inherently, nothing like the possession of an original work of Art. It is like the perfect Lover- dynamic, rare, Yours. Its scarcity is romantic. Its idiosyncrasies draw you deeper. Its value is revealed through careful study. Objects can serve as more than mere tools, or decoration- they can be heirlooms, luxurious symbols, and talismans.
I explore the relationships between time, value, and beauty. My work embraces slow craftsmanship, traditional materials, and sustained intimacy...
Look Again
Muses come in many forms. Foraged botanicals, brass trinkets, bones, and Etruscan folk magic...
Making Magick
Materials are just as unique as the painting itself. I often use copper rubbed with garlic instead of canvas...
Fullfilment
Lavish gilt frames, subtle metallic accents, and copious layers of glazed detail. The final stages of work make all the difference.
