Welllll, this is about as good as it's gonna get.....

Walking around in my everyday you would think i had just walked out of a coal mine. I am an abstract landscape painter and produce mural size paintings on a daily basis. A main component in my mix of media in my paintings is charcoal. When i come home at night you would think i had changed races until of coarse i go to change my clothes and there are outlines of where my tshirt use to be.

I think to myself, "I wonder what people think when they see me around campus or town??" Do they think to themselves, HA! ew, she's dirty...she's a hot mess...or do they not even see me at all. There is uncertainty on many different levels in all aspects of life.

People react to uncertainty with fear, nervousness or even a feeling of indifference. My goal is to bring out those specific emotions by allowing the viewer to experience a setting, overwhelmed with atmosphere, that will make you question possible states or outcomes. I work in washes of acrylic medium on top of partially gessoed canvas with charcoal. The physicality of my work is intended to not only create literal movement throughout the piece, but also to create an emotional movement within the viewer. By using aggressive brush strokes and the intermingling of charcoal, I create a texture that puts a weight on the viewer yet forces them to continue throughout the entire piece.

My goal of this blog is to let you into my dirty charcoal world of abstraction. I will be posting different works at different stages on a weekly basis, along with where my thought process runs off too throughout.
