This painting was completed during my Akron Soul Train residency, so technically not that new, but made in 2019 and it hasn't been widely circulated. "Equinox" 30x30 inches, oil on canvas. A lot of bits and pieces in this painting were created in 3D modeling software (which I am still getting the hang of) and… Continue reading New Painting: Equinox

‘Illustrious Decay’ Opening Night
Thank you to everyone who came from near and far and attended the "Illustrious Decay" opening at CWAL and 78th Street Studios. This was my first time since my days at CalArts I had done an installation piece let alone a collaborative one. Jen Omaitz led me through it because I kind of had zero… Continue reading ‘Illustrious Decay’ Opening Night

Artwork Cover and Feature in The Journal
I'm so thrilled that my painting "Outcast" has made another cover! This time it is literary magazine, The Journal. They also did a very in-depth interview and you can read it over here.
Process of Procrastination
It still blows my mind I can do editing on my phone with ease. I decided to play around and made this little time-lapse of a work on paper.
OAC Biennial Juried Exhibition, 2017

Biomorpic Progress Shots
I've been busy working on paintings for my solo show in November. Here are some sneaky peeky shots of the progress. I'll admit it, I have no idea what I'm doing and these are very far off from the initial sketches I did.
An Empty Calendar Is Death, After All
This will be very different work for me and it's the first time I'll be having a dedicated show of the new direction I've been going in. I read a horoscope a few months back saying that for me, as a Gemini, unveiling a new creative direction in public in June was the worst time to do so and it would not be well received. I normally don't put much stock into horoscopes -- let alone the Astro Twins -- but the description was a little too on the mark and specific with my situation as I was negotiating a gallery space. I'm glad the show got moved to the late fall!
New Painting: Heartbreaker
"Heartbreaker" 12x12 inches, oil on canvas. I'm pretty much booked on commissions through the summer, however, I have been wanting to get back to this series for ages. Good thing is I can sometimes work on it in-between layers drying on my commissioned work! (click the image to zoom in)
