The process used in my resin work is physically challenging and hazardous, requiring a hazmat suit, full-face respirator, 1200º heatgun and blowtorch.  Pigments and mica powders are mixed into the resin and poured onto custom wood panels. Without the use of brushes, extreme heat is applied to move the resin and create organic chemical reactions. I would liken the process to a musical composition where everything moves together in unforced harmony without pause.  Without time to stop and retune my strings during the process due to time constraints of the resin curing process, I am forced to improvise and continue playing even when out of tune.  My work manifests a visual representation of both the harmony and discord in life.  Combining control and serendipity while maintaining a free-flowing abstract nature, each painting is lyrical and representational of the symbolic power of expressive color.
