Lilac, oil paint on canvas, 24 x 24 in., 2017.
This painting is part of my Abstract Elements series. With this series I was exploring the concept of photogenic abstraction. Which is the creation of abstract imagery based on photography. These three paintings focus on colors and organic shapes that are pulled out of the natural world and represented in an unnatural way. I layered photographic images of plant material, light reflecting on glass, and images of water to create these paintings. These different elements are reminiscent of the elements of earth, wind, fire, and water. The paintings show abstraction as a matter of perception, that if you take elements from real life, break them down and resemble them, you end up with an abstract image. But this image is not imaginary it's still very much a representation of reality.
Where it's been: Exhibited in 2022 as part of "Splash, Drip, Throw" online exhibition with the Visionary Art Collective.

Love the new artwork in my office and living room. It lifts us up everyday, acts as a conversation piece in Zoom calls, and we love the most being able to support artists in our communities as well.
