I have been interested in how capturing a moment, with a photo or on paper, creates a time loop. Its an illusion convincing us that we can enter into the moment… Continue reading full life
[Remixed Intuitions] Our days are made up of interactions between objects and individuals. Each interaction entangles us into a never ending connection with the people and things around us.

There were many wineries from the surrounding area, local restraints, and artist set up in venues for the guests to enjoy. I painted live, and debuted my wine inspired series. I managed to get a… Continue reading Wine Swirl at Down Town Tyler
My favorite treat with art, is water-coloring a moment. I love mixing the paint with the water, and watch how the colors mix in. I enjoy the process of thinking out how the layers need to be laid and experimenting how to use the paint.
