Gallery Wall of 9 Paintings Painting

This collection of 9 each 20x16 vertical aspect paintings as a gallery wall, or choose 9 from my portfolio. Works in Series 30 and 32 are all the same size and on the same type of canvas. The measurements include 2 inches of spacing between the rows. All paintings in series 30 and 32 incorporate high quality traditional media including clear gesso primer, acrylic paints, pigment-based India inks, and graphite. The heavy-duty canvas is #10 duck cotton with a raw, pre-primed weight of 15 oz/yard, and the painted area is sealed with two layers of soft-gel gloss isolation coat. These works arrive rolled in a tube, ready to stretch and/or frame. ------- My works represent a constant outpouring of singular impressions: clearly isolated images that capture flashes of emotion, changes in perception, or moments of recognition. I give fleeting thoughts as much consideration as monumental ideas: nothing is more important than anything else and every small thing has its place. My process is modeled after the methods of improvisational theater. I make a first mark, then ask myself, “if this is true, what else is true?” I repeat this process with the addition of each new element, using personal experience to shape the final image. Each image represents an isolated narrative, yet all the images together tell a larger story. My accountability for the truth and permanence of this story is an important part of my identity as an artist. This is why I make all my works in sequential series, and never destroy or hide any of them.
