The journal
Between the brushstrokes.
A closer look at the symbols, memories, and moments behind the paintings.
The Symbols That Keep Returning
Hands, hearts, houses, suns, pathways. I stopped choosing them years ago — now I just answer the door.
On Painting Family
Father and The Pain of My Mother were the two hardest canvases I have ever finished. They were also the two that taught me why I paint.
Notes From Three Studios
Laguna Beach taught me colour. Hawaiian Gardens taught me interiority. The work carries both now.
Why I Leave the Words In
Sometimes a painting needs a word the way a scream needs air. I've stopped painting over them.
