Feeling Good Series
The Feeling Good series is a collection of large-scale, non-objective abstract paintings that explore color, movement, and emotional energy. Perfect for corporate spaces that need large abstract artwork. Created through an intuitive process of layering, drawing, scraping, and rediscovery, each painting evolves organically as one mark responds to the next. Rich color relationships, expressive movement, and luminous passages invite slow looking, revealing new textures and unexpected discoveries over time.
"Out with the old. In with the bold." ~Anonymous
I begin each painting with automatic drawing, allowing intuition to lead before intention takes over. Yet I also move through the world noticing shapes: the silhouette of a garment, the curve of a chair, a fragment of landscape, the structure of a leaf. These visual impressions lodge somewhere in my memory and eventually resurface on the canvas, rearranged and juxtaposed into unexpected compositions. The resulting forms often feel strangely familiar, hovering just beyond recognition, like something you almost know but cannot quite name. My process is influenced by automatism and the improvisational spirit of the Abstract Expressionists: first pouring out, then editing. I begin with automatic drawing in graphite and wax crayon, followed by translucent layers of acrylic paint. Shapes create relationships, which give rise to still more shapes. I build, obscure, scrape back, and respond to what emerges, playing with contrasts: light against shadow, bold hues against muted tones, smooth surfaces against rough, and the angular against the curvilinear. Stacked and wobbly, these forms become pieces of life reassembled.
Additional works can be found under Representation.
This series is frequently chosen for modern interiors and large-scale installations, offering bold, expressive compositions that energize a space.
