Down and Out in Seattle. – TLC
After walking in on my, now ex, girlfriend with someone else I moved back to Seattle. It has been a little over a year since I got back and have been working odd jobs to make ends meet while everything that I seem to apply to I am either over or under qualified to for.…

Spending a day off in Portland: a visual voyage.
A study in the red brick of Portland. It has taken us a little while to get our footing here in Portland. In order to do grocery shopping we have found that there isn’t an easy route to just go by a supermarket, but instead it becomes a meander around the peninsula and an exploration…

The move to Maine: Our new city Portland.
After finishing up my BFA senior thesis and graduating we packed up all our belongings and headed East. Off into the sunrise. My wall of the BFA Thesis show. Somehow we ended up arriving in Maine a whole day before we had planned on arriving, but with driving through the night and switching off the…

Artist and statement.
I believe that beauty is only found in the grime of ignored life. With a style and an aesthetic that had been called passé I like to look at the past that has survied to the present. We are all a conglomeration of our pasts building our futures before us. And with this understanding I…

The Toulousian Painting.
I sneak in a mirror reflected reference photo. While we were in Toulouse we ducked into a nice little salon de thé that to me felt like something out of a 1940s representation of Europeans in Africa. Probably just the French dealing with the heat of the south. While at this place I noticed a…

Summer art projects. – in progress
I finished a piece today that I had started as a ‘little’ drawing to fill one of my many empty frames. I had received some old sketch paper in California from my grandma and wanted to pair its yellowing with some of my layered drawing. It took a lot longer than I thought it would…

Back in the States: A summer reflection.
We stop somewhere in Eastern Washington on the way back to Montana. Coming back to the States has been an ‘interesting’ experience. After the stress of having to figure out living and how to get around once getting back, I have since spent most of the summer in hiding. Time to time popping into the…

The adventure continues.
So, I haven’t written much lately.. but from the doldrums of the end of semester I then entered a time period of a flânerie across France. A last hurrah. Jessye came to visit again and the tiny room was packed up all into a few suitcases, the largest being named Bertha, and Rennes was left behind, although…

The woman of the present antiquity.
I begin the piece by defining the form and covering up the painting already on the canvas. Something found at Emmaüs. A painting of what looks like was a French town. I try my best to lay the new layer of paint as thinly as possible so textures won’t later interfere with my painting. I…
