Old Number Seven
Discover the early layers of my latest mixed media collage, a captivating blend of personal history and urban industrial motifs. At the heart of this piece lies a vintage Jack Daniel's whiskey label from my father, infusing the piece with nostalgia and personality. Each haphazard edge and faded color tells a story, echoing memories of the past and the connections made and lost.
As you explore this artwork, you’ll find subtle hints of the Golden Gate Bridge, a landmark I’ve crossed countless times, symbolizing both connection and transition. Secret seawalls from my youth in Santa Cruz weave through the background, whispering tales of adventure and childhood exploration, reminding us all of the hidden gems nestled in our past.
The transparent layers of collage create a dramatic interplay of depth and texture, inviting your eyes to reach behind what you think you see. This piece is more than art; it’s an invitation to experience the beautiful imperfections of life and to reflect on your own journey. Each layer, each scrap, contributes to a narrative rich with emotion and authenticity. Immerse yourself in this vibrant tapestry of history and memory, and let it inspire your own stories.

I use high quality, professional grade acrylic paints and mediums, oil sticks, as well as top quality substrates and acid free paper. I make most of my own collage papers using the same paints as the final paintings. If there is vintage collage, it will be layered over with protective UV mediums to ensure the color stays as true as possible. However, the natural aging of the vintage papers is to be appreciated for its imperfect beauty.
Each painting receives an isolation coat prior to a wax finish, or UV varnish in matte, satin, or a combination of both. Cradled panels will be finished in a polyurethane or hand-painted to showcase the art. Frames are finished in a poly finish as well, or hand-painted and will be described as such under Description.
All artwork comes ready to hang with d-rings, coated wire and is signed on the front and/or the back. Each piece also comes with a certificate of authenticity.
