Hello! I’m back. I’ve been busy livin’, workin’, and painting! I also revamped my art website and started to spend some quality time on Instagram doing stories and reels. Come see the latest there. Below you will see a glimpse into my latest series, dedicated to women, our hair, and our stories of strength and individuality. Do visit my new art website sometime and let me know what you think.

Finished the rest of the commission for my friends in Texas. These 2 will be hung alongside the purple oak.
British prime minister David Cameron gifts Barack Obama a painting from 39 yr old graffiti artist Ben Eine. I wonder where he hung it…
I did this piece for a friend as a gift. I painted over another piece and took advantage of the texture, which is one of my favorite things to do. Used very quick brush work and kept a light and loose approach. I’m happy with the result. I hope she is too…

There is a great painting show happening at the Lyons Wier Gallery (175 7th Ave (at 20th St.) in Manhattan right now. Artist Jazz-minh Moore has a solo show titled “Slipping Sideways” which will be up through June 20th. Jazz-minh’s paintings are alive, full of energy and emotion. Her technique is beautifully mastered and her colors bring into this dreamy and windy world. I can’t wait to see her work.
Here is an excerpt from the gallery press release:
Ms. Moore’s deftness of hand lends itself seamlessly to her methodology. Utilizing the wood grain as a landscape to influence her compositions, some sections are left unfinished and others are highly rendered. The level of completion is an evolving collaboration between the organic drawing ‘style’ present and the wood panel itself.

Once my teacher, always an inspiration. I took Stephen’s class while in school at LCAD and I must say, I painted my favorite painting of all my school years. I haven’t had the patience to paint this way again… but I always think about his technique, palette and overall attitude. What a talent. Check out his very impressing and extensive portfolio http://stephenwdouglas.com/.

Peter Severin & Marie Krøyer were Danish painters that I discovered while my visit to the Goteborg Museum in Sweden.
There’s not many of her paintings online, but I really enjoyed her style the most, and both of their brushwork is just divine.
Art work by ©Maria Cristina Romero
Its time for a new artist to feature… Maria Cristina Romero is a Venezuelan artist whos paintings have inspired me for years and years.
She is incredible with detail and technique, but lately has been focusing on abstract and texture. She also loves to Sculpt. She has taught me so much about art since little, I owe my passion for it to her. Check out her portfolio and be inspired.
