LARGE - SCALE ABSTRACT PAINTINGS FOR ARCHITECTURAL SPACES
CORPORATE, HEALTHCARE + PRIVATE RESIDENTIAL
Each work is developed in response to the conditions of the space: the quality of light, the scale of the wall, and the movement of people through it.
My paintings are grounded in the experience of seeing. Color is not fixed; it shifts with light and with the position of the viewer. In a public or shared space, this creates a subtle, ongoing interaction—something that unfolds over time rather than presenting itself all at once.
When you make a painting for a specific location there is an extra dimension added to your work, another layer of alchemy, whereby your contribution is mixed with that of an architect or designer to combine into a vision that is greater than each of its parts. It is a massive collaboration, yet the principals often are not working directly together. Each of us has to convey our vision with enough clarity that the next person can enter the space and know what is called for — what the missing piece is that only they can provide.
It is alchemy on steroids.
COMMISSIONS BEGING WITH A CONVERSATION...
I review architectural plans, photographs, and, when possible, visit the site. From there, I develop studies that consider scale, palette, and the behavior of light within the space. The final work is executed in the studio and installed in coordination with the client, designer, or architect. Works range from moderate to large scale, including multi-panel installations. Each project is specific to its setting.
PREVIOUS COMMISSIONS
My work is held in private and corporate collections and has been commissioned for offices, public spaces, and residential interiors.
CLIENT: SKANKA
HOUSTON
Commissioned for Skanska’s 1550 Building in Houston, in collaboration with Bjarke Ingels Group, this painting is situated where the public space is funneled into the private interior. Large enough to be read from outside the building, it resolves as a single field at a distance and becomes more active and complex up close. In that sense, it is not simply placed within the architecture, but actively engaged with it—shaped by light, movement, and the experience of passing through the space.
