I’m still in Greece and I find myself noticing everything more here. A stunning shade of blue, or a texture on a wall can stop me in my tracks! I’m taking tons of photos and I know they will inform my new art. What makes all this possible is presence. Here’s how I...

Hello everyone I’m coming to you from Paros, Greece! This island is so beautiful! The colors pop among the whites of the buildings. There’s an amazing blue accent on many doors and windows. While on a run, I saw a big white church with a blue door. I love it so much...

I’m coming to you from Mykonos, Greece today! I love checking out new places. The water, boats, and colors here are all so beautiful. When traveling I always bring art materials as well as the things I need to film what I’m doing so I can share it with you. Check it...

I’m working on a new piece and thought I’d let you listen in on my thinking when I see problem areas. In parts of this painting, many things are visually tangled. Too many elements colliding are just distracting. It’s like furniture in a room that’s not placed right -...

I’m back from my show opening, and it’s time for a bit of studio housekeeping. I’ve returned to several buckets with dried-up paint. Take a look... It makes clean-up easy because I only have to use a screwdriver to scrape the dried paint out. This is an efficient way...

In art and life, we all get stuck at times and don’t know how to move forward. Whenever this happens to me, I’m reminded that the answer is always the same—just try something! This just came up for me as I was completing my newest work. I wasn’t sure what the final...

My show opens this week and we’re at the final step — getting the work to the gallery! All the canvases are now removed from the support panels they’ve been stapled to and are ready to go. Here’s the process… The canvases will be stacked, rolled, and flown to Julie...

I’m standing in front of the largest painting I’ll be showing at Julie Nester Gallery at the end of July. This has been fun to work on! The painting is much looser and more direct than the other paintings in the show, but it will still fit in with this new body of...
