Tambourines (2017-2019)
These paintings attempt to manifest the spirit of a personality which may be interpreted, inhabited, and defined independently by each viewer.
After a few years of working primarily on the Friendships series, I thought I'd challenge the process by trying to incorporate two characters into a single figure- a friendship of one. When the chakras of the two figures started lining up, I saw a novel approach to capturing a character without the benefit of most distinguishing features.
