A series about integrity – being what you present, and even clearer underneath. Cracked open, something stronger and more vivid spills out. This is the 1st painting in my series called Reversed Cowgirls.
Crafted on cotton canvas in layers of acrylic paint. The cowgirl is built up in grayscale realism, then split open – a torn, peeled section across the face reveals a saturated layer of red and orange beneath the composed surface. The yellow-bleeding-into-deep-purple background carries the same tension: two sides of one figure, equally true, equally hers.
The piece is made to be seen from both sides. At it’s first exhibition it was presented slowly rotating, letting viewers meet it from shifting angles – the torn surface, the gaze, the colour beneath, all revealing themselves differently depending on where you stood. Watch it turn here.
With sharp contrasts, a defiant gaze and a deliberate rupture across the face, the piece evokes what it means to live in alignment – the same on the outside as in, and only more vivid the deeper you go. Where the surface is peeled back, the vibrance doesn’t apologise for being there.
A painting in a triptych about getting yourself up from the abyss. Lost without aim, lifting your weight up to nearest stable point. This is the 3rd painting in my series called No instructions.
Crafted on cotton canvas in expressive layers of acrylic paint. In this piece traditional brushwork meets an experimental technique: flowing streams of liquid rubber that are painted over, then meticulously scraped away to reveal intricate strata. The resulting composition pulses with depth and movement as each peeled-back layer uncovers hidden contrasts. Watch the painting process here.
With dynamic textures and defined lines, the piece evokes an interplay between struggle and clarity — capturing the tension of losing direction and the quiet determination to rise, one exposed layer at a time.
