“The role of the Midwest is to keep the coasts apart.” - Unknown

"Midwest," is a tribute to the industrial heartland through a vibrant tapestry of shapes and colors. This piece combines the meticulous precision of geometric abstraction with the raw beauty of industrial landscapes.

My mixed media paintings consist of acrylic paint and digital collage. They are painted on museum quality archival paper and then laminated to a cradled wood panel, varnished, waxed and then framed in a black floater frame. Each piece begins as a digital study on an iPad where the basic composition and coloring is determined before the hand painted original is started.
