These final two pieces in the series place further emphasis on the idea that the abstract structure of light reveals and compliments the physical structure of the subject.

Two more paintings in this series. The first was partly an exploration of color as it reveals the structure of light, whereas the second experiments with stylistic mark-making, which is an aspect of my work that has persisted in many pieces.

The first several pieces in a series which emerged from the ideas in the previous two pieces, concentrating on the play of light in that it both reveals and creates abstract structure.

Two backlit objects on a windowsill. Focusing on notions of chiaroscuro (patterns of light and dark) and on negative space.

Colored Pencil on Paper
8x10"

These two pieces are based on Dürer's "Adoration of the Magi" along with the style of contemporary illustrator Stephanie Carter. The first image is a drawing abstracting the compositional forms in "Adoration of the Magi" through the use of Carter's style, whereas the second image is based upon a further abstraction of the first image.

Acrylic on Illustration Board

Two pieces, both based on portraiture and color theory, but the first piece focusing on the former and the second piece focusing on the latter. The second, in particular, is based on Johannes Itten's theories of color contrast, exploring several forms of contrast as detailed by Itten.
