My work has been highly influenced by the world of commercial art and graphic design. This translates to my art in many ways. My still life paintings are careful composition full of allegories, which capture a moment in time where all represented items are meaningful beyond the composition.
"Tea on Turquoise" is one in a series of still life paintings that feature a piece of origami, and other everyday objects. In this painting a rose bud sits by a tea cup alongside a paper crane. The flower represents natural beauty, and the paper crane represents wisdom and creativity through experience.
