New Additions: Re-Incarnation Series

Broken Sand, Oil on canvas on wood, 24″ x 24″

After meandering through the world of traditional oil on canvas, I have returned to the practice of destruction.

My new series of abstracts are the results of painting from a drawing of a painting, cutting the canvas into 25 squares and re-arranging them, gluing them to board and then tearing it up. Convoluted? Yes, a bit.

This process disrupts the predictability of the composition. My brain is so structured and linear that I need to use these strategies to shake things up.

The rest of my new works can be seen on my website.

You’ll also notice that I’ve added a “news” section so that I can post any relevant updates.

Current Exhibition

Every year, SOPA Fine Arts holds an exhibition called the U8 Event. This show features hundreds of work by about eighty local and international artists. This is probably the largest exhibit of affordable fine art in the Okanagan Valley, with every piece is priced at less than $800.

I’ve participated in this juried show twice before, and this year I’m pleased to have one of my new abstract paintings included. Room to Breathe was one of the first in my re-incarnation series and will be on sale at SOPA.

The show runs from April 2nd to April 12. SOPA is located in Kelowna at 2934 South Pandosy St.
