2024 series (that I never shared)

I jumped back into painting needing a hands-on outlet. A place to just play. Growing up I was drawn to specific artists: Rauschenberg, Pollock, Hirst. Their techniques fascinated me, and a lot of my work was rooted in that foundation.

But like my 2019 series, I kept circling back to the same familiar style. I loved it, but I felt the itch to try something completely new.

Enter: acrylic pouring.

Fluid acrylics poured directly onto canvas, creating abstract effects that are entirely unpredictable. A different kaleidoscope on every pour. I started small: three tiny canvases, three color palettes, just getting a feel for it. The results stopped me in my tracks. Even as the paint dried it kept shifting, settling into forms I never planned for. That part I did not expect, and it became my favorite part of all.
