As an artist I like to challenge myself by trying out new mediums and artistic styles. This page has the results of my experimentation with new ideas. Some of non-objective abstracts and some have recognizable features. Most involve an exploration with new materials.

Abstraction Kaibab Trail
This artwork features an abstracted section of the Kaibab Trail leading down into the Grand Canyon from the North Rim. Layers of paper, acrylics, and ink were used to create this image on a 12” x 24” wooden panel. The trail goes along a sheer cliff and disappears around a curve.

Orange Runs Through It
Orange Runs Through It, Color Abstract #3
mixed media on wood panel, 16” x 16”, 2014
This color abstract features curving shapes and lines in red violet, red orange, and blue green with black accents. It is made with textured papers, ink, and acrylics. The thing I love about abstracts is that everyone sees something different when they look at them. It is mounted so that it appears to float on the wall.

Delicate Arch
Delicate Arch
mixed media
This abstracted version of Delicate Arch in Arches National Park has a look that resembles stained glass. I was experimenting with using acrylics thinned down with a medium and squeezed through a bottle to create dimensional lines. This painting is on a stretched canvas and is painted around the edge. It can be displayed with or without a frame.

Turret Arch
Turret Arch
Turret Arch was painted over a map of Utah glued to a wooden panel. The map is visible through the paint in the rock formation creating visual texture, while the sky is an opaque blue that covers the map. Turret Arch is in Arches National Park in Utah.
