Trestles
This piece began with layers of collage, including vintage whiskey labels from my father who passed away. As well as pieces from a vintage ledger and delicate bits of handmade papers.
Somewhere in the middle of creating the layers and texture I began to realize the image reminded me of the trestle in Capitola, CA where I grew up. I spent many days walking across that very tall, old rickety wooden trestle. I sat on top, feet dangling over the edge, dreaming of my future.

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.
