Splendid - 12"x12" Original Painting
Splendid - 12"x12" Original Painting
This is an original painting, 12"x12" acrylic and fabric on 1.5" deep cradled panel. The sides of this piece are wood that's been sanded and finished with clear wax, so the piece can be hung without a frame. The painting itself is finished with a UV varnish and cold wax to protect the surface and give it a beautiful sheen.
“Splendid” is one of a series of ten paintings I created using a list of positive adjectives as inspiration.

The Attraction series
My painting practice is fundamentally an exploration of surface through pattern, color, and texture. I have a magpie-like attraction to bright, colorful, decorated objects, but an orderly mind, a love for the grid and a strong schooling (from my architectural design studies) to mistrust the superficial. These contradictory urges come together in my paintings. I work in many layers of acrylic media, starting with a repeating fabric design at the base and adding elements both rigid and planned (geometric stencil repeats) and loose and unplanned (drips, washes, crackled layers). Abstracted floral forms and decorative elements make an appearance, like dreams of old-fashioned textiles. With these paintings, I celebrate the surface.
