This gestural, layered stain painting features captivating shades of cerulean, indigo, and black with gentle, organic textures. Titled and signed on back, this painting is unframed and ships ready to hang with certificate of authenticity.

All my paintings begin with a singular color intention. Grounded on raw textiles with their nubby, imperfect, and unpredictable texture, initial marks immediately stain the surface, and I embrace and connect the elements as I work my way forward. Despite the soft-handed, almost suede-like, appearance of my finished paintings, my application methods are often frenetic and rough, including intentional distressing to reveal contrasting underlayers. Closer up, one will discover random, intuitive marks and occasional brush hairs left behind in evidence of the brisk application.
