As our world continues to be rooted in the developments of man, nature seems to be losing its dominance. Struggles for power and balance have always existed, but this paradox has intensified quickly in recent history. Overdevelopment and technology is on an ever expanding pathway that perhaps mirrors the infinite Universe. There is another universe that I have created through the use of painting. I encompass similar imagery to what Earth is experiencing and how natural looking organic forms coexist with manmade looking architectural/industrial like forms. These acrylic paintings use straight edge forms that coexist with organic shapes where color circumnavigates the composition to create visual balance. Forms appear to release, move, and breakaway from their environments and origins. Each acrylic painting is detailed and meticulously crafted on both the front and back sides. Most of the pieces take an upwards of 100 hours from build to varnish.
