the series i am working on right now is basically about life. its about the conflict between all of our plans and ambitions and grabs for control, and all of the unexpected stuff that life throws in the way of it. i carefully draw out patterns, put things into grids, create geometric designs, and then take a bunch of thinned down paint and let it do its thing over top of it, or scribble random shapes on top of it all. the idea is that in the end there is a harmony created. between the planning, rigor, and deliberate construction, and the drips, dissolves, and happy accidents, comes a gestalt that is analogous to all the events of a persons life contributing to who the person is.
that's the idea anyway.
feedback is much appreciated.

Sunny weather, a sense of accomplishment, learning things, tv on dvd (specifically lost and grey's anatomy), long trips, good music (read indie rock), cuddly cats, long hikes, hot springs and other natural bodies of water, SITE Santa Fe

people who use the word "irregardless"

drawing and painting (obviously), hiking, visiting national parks, photography, going out to eat, interior decorating

Hi Rachel, thanks for popping by I thought I would check out your page and was really drawn to your work!  You drip well, your bones series are great - look forward to seeing more!  You are quite right about happy accidents which is what I love about painting - is this acrylic?  I also love your subtle layering - the designs you use under layers works for me!

Hi; thanks for stopping by my profile. I really like "El Mano Pais" as the detail pulls great movement throughout the piece.

I'm moving to Pecos soon -  love the area. Many of my paintings are influenced by the area, as you can tell.

see you on the boards!

Hi Rachel!

Thank you for your comments on my jewelry.  I think what you do is amazing and after visiting your gallery, Winning the Battle is one of my favorites.  You have a great title.
