Fortune Teller

I used to make these paper fortune tellers all the time in junior high.

Haberdasher Early Evening

While figuring out what to paint for this year for the Works/SJ benefit, I realized I’ve done a few paintings that have aligned into a new series of their own.

Mural: Eastside Grown

This is the largest painting I’ve done yet! It’s a shipping container owned by Veggielution (8′ x 8′ x 20′).

Solo exhibition: Flight Delay

The late afternoon sun and shifting weather created this extraordinary light show with the glassware that splayed, rippled, and caught an occasional tiny rainbow.

Mural: Markers

I contributed a low mural here in the theme of reclaiming and reusing space, latching onto the idea of the physical markers that signal that.

Dreaming of Outside

This was my take on the classic “white cube” primitive for art.

Portraits of Dogs

More pet portraits – here’s a bunch of dogs I’ve painted so far this year.

ArtBox: The Illuminated Iris

The ArtBox Project is an effort to bring more art into neighborhoods by sprucing up overlooked-but-ubiquitous utility boxes.

Portraits of Cats

I put out a call for pet portraits early in the year and have done quite a few since then. Most of them I held off on posting because they were gifts and I didn’t want to spoil the surprise. This batch is cats!

Mural: Victory!

Organized by The Exhibition District, the 100Block mural includes paintings by 100 Bay Area artists

Portraits of Chickens

I enjoy painting portraits of pets, and my latest commission was especially fun: pet chickens!

Shimmer

Continuing my tradition of creating new works to donate to the annual Works/San José benefit auction, here’s one that echoes some of the artful cropping of the Statement paintings but with a new subject matter.

Gestures series

Part of the 10th Annual 50|50 Show at Sanchez Art Center. I enlisted 24 models (plus me) for variety including friends, family, and co-workers.

Never Gonna Give You Up

Here’s a triptych of paintings I created based on the theme of the 2018 Works/San José member show: Infinite Memes.

Solo exhibition: Natural Conclusions

This show is the culmination of two years of collecting amateur landscapes in need of a little love.

Force of Habit

I started this one in college as an figure painting exploration with a particular focus on hands and feet.

Corridor

I was struck by the lighting and the rhythm of the layout. Two other people were there, quietly enjoying a dinner, so I surreptitiously snagged a photo that I decided to make into a painting.

Tahuya

This is a painting of Tahuya, a spot in Washington that has a genuine inland fjord. Fjords: not all in Norway!

Roots series

In celebration of the warmer weather and the end of the drought, I created this series of things that grow in the ground. I always like cutaway-style illustrations so I created a view of what’s above and below the ground.

Elevate

When I thought of the theme, “Elevate”, I thought about how people express themselves with gestures. I picked a movie for each of the 13 days of Cinequest to be represented here by gestures from one of their characters.
