August Artist Showcase

August 16, 2022 / / 0 Comments

This year’s August Artist Showcase was another wonderful show at the Quakertown Farmer’s Market, complete with warm lights and a friendly crowd. A huge thanks to everyone that came out to support the local talent, to all the other artists for making the showcase what it was, and to Small Media Large for hosting. An extra thanks to my brother for the brand new banner and to my dad for helping with set-up, clean-up, and keeping me company throughout the day.

Frog Bowling Ball

Frog Bowling Ball Lawn Ornament

August 8, 2022 / / 0 Comments

My customer requested that I recycle one of their old bowling balls into a frog to display in their garden. I used not only the bowling ball but also two large plastic baseballs to create eyes for this amphibian friend. After some sanding, painting, and sealing, this little guy was ready to join the garden.

Dimensions: about 16cm (Standard Bowling Ball)

Mediums: Montana 94 Spray Paint, Rustoleum Outdoor Paint, UV Protection Sealer

Sale Status: NFS/Commission

This artwork was created out of a recycled bowling ball which was saved from the customer who commissioned the piece.

Every once in a while, the sky outside my bedroom devolves into warm glowing pinks, reds, and oranges. Usually I take a few minutes to photograph these moments but this time I used watercolors and ink to create a loose interpretation of the view from my window.

This artwork was created on a canvas that contained a pre-existing but scrapped painting of mine from school. By doing this, I was able to utilize the painting surface for a new concept.

Bad Habits

Bad Habits is inspired by the question “what bad habits would you like to break?”, this piece explores my own personal habit of ripping at my fingernails. I wanted this piece to be an honest reflection of my imperfections and I settled on this specific subject matter as a way to hold myself accountable for the results. I exaggerated the torn up fingers to represent the constant ripping at my own body and how prominent those small details are to my own eyes. Sometimes for change to occur, you must first see the problem for what it is.

Based on Edvard Munch’s “The Separation”, this painting explores Munch’s style of painting while connecting the subject to myself. While “The Separation” shows the feeling of being separated from a loved one, I wanted to explore what it felt like to feel separated from oneself.

This one was a 1 hour project. Using a knife, I layered wet acrylic paint in an impasto style to create this textural animal portrait. Most of my paintings begin with a sketch or an underpainting of some sort. My goal with this piece however was not to be realistic but to enjoy the act of painting and create something with no reference and no plan in mind.

Dimensions: 8×10 inches
