True art should say something, should mean something, both to the artist and the patron. Through the chaos and calm of my work, I paint emotion and experiences that deeply resonate with others who speak the language of the soul.

Our Examen

In the studio for the first time all month...I’ve been working on an entirely new project, coming soon...ish.

Such joy in simple mark-making. It’s the energy and whimsy. And the freedom of tiny art. (@artomat)

Colors and splatters, adding to the surface quality a batch at a time. (@artomat)

When you ask your 9yo what she thinks about one of your latest:
-"That's a very good painting."
What do you like about it?
-"It has a LOT of colors. And I like the circles."
Is there anything else I should do?
-"ummm... a little more circles? And you should put some hearts on it!"
(Swallowing a laugh) Hearts? And what color should the hearts be?
-"Green! Because that would be A REALLY CRAZY color!"

Realizing that I surround myself with colors of warmth and earth. I want it all as close to me as I can. My soul is craving another wandering through nature. #MTArt
