Backyard

An abstraction of a bright blue river with plants, flesh, something that may be a rabbit, and a funnel

Colorful and thickly painted, this painting has a black dog in the foreground and an abstract figure in the background

an abstract, highly textured rectangular work in pink and green. There's a bunny, an eye, and a mouth, but the other shapes could be recognized too!

A large pink animal dominates the thickly painted, abstract composition. There are other creatures, crashing waves, and a giant face if you look long enough.

A fish struggles to leap out of a pile of fish, bones, and leaves. The paint is very thick.

Very thickly textured, lots and lots of paint layers on this one. The objects aligned, then separated, and a kind of friendly chaos held out at the end.

There is a cross, an eye, and a keyboard in this composition that seems to be religious somehow.

Lots of round shapes, body parts, and bright colors compete for attention in this highly textured horizontal composition.

What’s in your backyard? These works are made in multiple techniques – by drawing, slathering, scraping, sanding, adding and reducing.

I’m working in an anti-AI way, so that ‘backyard’ can mean anything or everything. Like, back of your mind? Where stuff is stored in the winter, and comes alive later on?

Always thinking about climate change and the giant contradiction involved when depicting optimism.
