Abstract and colorful, my work is often pointedly digital in appearance, combining soft elements-- hand-drawn forms, pastels, and gentle color gradations-- with hard elements, such as sharp edges with visible 'pixels,' and other obviously digital artifacts (layering, duplication, repetition, etc).
I favor spare, minimal rendering that invites the viewer's eye to complete the picture. I also enjoy the idea of the ellipse as an infinity symbol-- it's a simplified figure 8, really-- and frequently use this shape as a sort of 'atomic unit' in my pattern-based work.
When buying a print of my work: I recommend the Metal Print option for most of my work (especially those subtlest images with low contrasts and fine misty gradients), as it offers the best reproduction of my images' colors & details, and the prints have a sleek, appealing gloss finish. These metal prints are lightweight, durable and do not require framing.
For application of my images to fabrics: I recommend visiting my Home Decor and Accessories Gallery, where you'll find the higher-contrast, bolder and brighter works that come across best on tote bags, beach towels, pillows, duvet covers, shower curtains and more.
