Strata and Mineral Blue
Heavy impasto built over raw Barberton soil washes. The lower quarter holds scraped incisions revealing earlier burnt umber grounds.
Iron Oxide and Field Notes
Salvaged roofing tin oxidized by summer rains, mounted beside handwritten pencil measurements and water-diluted bone black.
The River Basin Shift
Archival cartography fragments embedded under glazes of ultramarine and beeswax. The surface retains thumb prints and knife cuts.
The paint touches canvas long before reasons exist to justify it.
A physical practice grounded in natural encounters, accidental scrape-backs, and the honesty of wet oil.
Questions left open overnight
A piece of river-weathered iron sits beside yesterday's palette. Its flaking copper-orange patina answers questions that fresh pigment cannot solve on its own.
The studio in Barberton operates without commercial intermediaries. Works leave the rack only when their balance feels earned and physically truthful.
Original canvases, studio visits, and project inquiries are handled directly from the desk.
