I always like the idea of undersea creatures coexisting with humanoids. This is one of the longest paintings to finish for me so far, a little over a year from when I started it. It went through a lot of revisions, angles of the carousel, the types of fish in the sea, the flow of the jellyfish and the selection of drinks.

This is one that's a continuation of another, all around an idea about what a dream of an orangutan might be. Shapes, colors, moods, nothing more, floating feelings. This one was a more modern setting idea- a date, in a busy bar. All around the center couple is a claustrophobic dance taking place, some people in an intimate mood, others staring blankly. It was a fun idea that I think I'll continue to chase in a future painting.

I started a series last year, in which I meet with strangers and come up with a painting while visiting their apartment, having them pose for me. This was the first of the bunch.

Based on the painting by Josephus Laurentius Dyckmans, a spin of color with some more abstract heads.

This is one going off of the vibe that I’ve been in lately, a deep desire to plant thick, overwhelming plants. I had the idea to go into this as if a greenhouse for plants is a beautiful place to be, a lounge, a place to relax and bask with your friends. I had my lovely friend Sophia pose for these in my living room- a dancer by trade, which was wonderful for having many unique, contorted poses to work with. I think it’s my favorite painting yet.
