Dune has to be in my favorites, the painting is just unique and timeless. I painted the original 36x36 canvas in 2011. Dune evolved from pure frustration with layers and layers of painting and re-painting. The end result was a depth and composition that was more or less a "happy accident". Dune is still my best selling work to date.
Released in Spring of 2025, Drifting Sands has a sense of light and movement that makes it more interesting the longer you look at it. I prefer the large horizontal canvas in the natural frame. The ebony frame is also a great choice if you want to bring out the umber tones, creating a stronger contrast.
A landscape with subtle formations in soft charcoals, Haven has a depth and stillness to it that takes me back to the peacefulness of the canyons and desert terrain of the Southwest. I prefer the triptych option in natural and the larger canvas options that give you the full impact of the painting.
I am drawn to this piece for several reasons. The first being emotional attachment, as it was one of the first "aha moments", created by manipulating my original painting into something completely different. The second being the intricate details and tones. Dune Textile has also been translated to a licensed wallcovering and printed on linen.
One of my first originals painted in my newly renovated home studio, Endless Horizon is a reflection of a new creative environment. The color palette is reminiscent of the desert. I prefer the natural frame and the large horizontal canvas is truer to the original format of the painting.
The original is a 60x60" canvas, painted and sold in 2011. The artwork has become a top-seller and a personal favorite. I like the formations created organically within the layers, the sense of depth and the overall tones. Slated looks balanced and interesting in the triptych option.
A layered landscape in washed earthy tones, Boundless has a way of making you feel a lightness, but knowing the earth is firmly beneath you. Boundless is a new work, but I am already a bit partial to the diptych framed in natural.
Shelter is very different from most of my work. It has a light and minimalistic wash of paint with very few layers. There was something about the work that just makes me happy.
There is something about this subtle piece that I have always loved. Using a similar creative process as I used in Dune Textile, the intricate pattern has a sketched charcoal quality to it. I have offered Graystone Textile in several forms as artwork and as a licensed wallcovering.
