I’ve always enjoyed experimenting with various mediums to try and create artwork that is both unique and beautiful. In college, I focused my attention on oil painting and gradually had the aspiration to create my own painting technique. I wanted to create paintings that would be unlike anything anyone had seen before while remaining aesthetically pleasing. I began to focus on the texture that can be created by applying multiple layers of oil paint to a canvas and was intrigued by the idea of pulling the paint off of the canvas and making it freeze in mid air to create a three dimensional painting. With the concept of what I wanted to create, I began the long process of trial and error to figure out how I would produce the final product. I am extremely pleased with the end result, which I call “Sculptured Paintings”.
So…What is it? The medium is oil paint and metal that I manipulate with magnetic forces. It took more than a year of experimenting with different materials and processes to perfect the final technique.
