NEW SERIES: SCULPTURAL PAINTINGS
Winter in Florida is my most alive working season.
January, February, and March are filled with shows nearly every weekend, and the energy of that rhythm fuels me. It’s a time of movement, connection, and creative exchange—meeting collectors, sharing new work, and watching pieces find their homes.
Spring and summer offered a different kind of gift this year. A steady flow of commissions allowed me to stay home, work deeply, and explore new processes. During that time, I began developing a series of sculptures that I plan to officially debut in 2027. Even in these early stages, the work has taken on a life of its own. I’ve begun accepting sculptural commissions and incorporating sculptural elements into my paintings, and the response at recent shows has been incredibly encouraging.
I delivered my first full sculpture commission—a two-part piece created for a stunning bar space in a private home. The clients had previously commissioned two paintings, and the trust we had built made this collaboration especially meaningful. The space already had extraordinary presence: rich blues, glass and gold shelving, and a stunning onyx desk. We chose a sea turtle painting to unify the palette, but there was a vertical space between the shelves that felt like it was asking for something more. I proposed a sculpture.
I shared a sketch and a vision, and my clients trusted the process completely.
What emerged was exactly what I had imagined. The installation was one of those rare moments when vision and reality align effortlessly. The joy of that delivery is something I’ll carry with me for a long time. My clients were thrilled, and days later, I’m still feeling the glow.
My sculptures and sculptural paintings are truly mixed media works. Materials shift depending on the intention of each piece—acrylic-based modeling compounds, epoxy materials, and layered textures that require no firing. Each work determines its own path. One of the most exciting aspects of this evolution is freedom: freedom from the confines of the canvas, and the ability to create work that can live both indoors and outdoors. The creative possibilities feel endless.
