I’m a Colorado-based artist working in oil and cold wax. My paintings are shaped by the look and feel of ancient things: weathered walls, worn stone, corroded metal, surfaces that have been marked, covered, and uncovered over time. I’m drawn to the mystery of what has been lost, buried, or only partly legible, and to the quiet tension between what is revealed and what is concealed.

Each painting is built in layers. I scrape, scratch, and rework the surface, letting earlier passages show through, softened or half-buried beneath what came after. Rust, ochre, and bone-white meet deep black and faded blue, and traces of marks and forms emerge without fully resolving. Those underlayers hold the history of the painting, every decision and reversal, much as an old surface carries the evidence of its own making and aging.

The process is a balance of control and discovery. I begin with intention, but the work is finished by what the surface offers back to me, and by knowing what to leave alone. What remains is often as important as what I’ve added.

My hope is that each piece feels both familiar and mysterious, like a fragment of something very old that you almost recognize.

My work has been included in juried exhibitions across Colorado and New York and is held in private collections nationwide.
