When I first began using foil I had an aversion to the bold colors and highly reflective surfaces for which the pallet is known. I worked to mute the colors, add texture and create more natural, organic feelings with this new medium. I still loved some of the hints of reflection and the way the light would catch the colors, but overall my work was natural both in colors and themes. I have since moved into fully embracing the wild and provocative color pallet with all it’s reflection and unique qualities, but these pieces have a special place in my heart.

Early in my career I was making a local presence in my community showing work at coffee shops, local art fairs, schools and fundraisers. I had opened a Custom Frame shop and art gallery called Claim to Frame in a better effort to support my art habit and show my work. At this time I took almost as much pride in my artistic framing as my work, and somehow the pieces did not feel complete until they were framed. I like to think I saved myself money by framing my own things, but ultimately my framing tastes got more and more lavish as they become extensions of the pieces themselves. Many of my older works display this part of my journey.
