About this Product
Planets in orbit. Minimalist sculpture, resin spheres on live-edge acacia. The violet to blue, light to dark color-gradient of the spheres is complemented by the warm tones and curved grain of the wood.

Meet the Maker
For paintings, my process starts with mixing the colors that are inspiring me, connect to my years of experience as a master SCUBA diver, training flight crews for high altitude work, and background as a jazz musician. The common theme is flow—water flows, air flows, music flows. Then I allow the paint to flow and manipulate it with spreaders, cups, rings, my hands, gravity, and time, until the image emerges. Much like the way a through line emerges in music, or wave pattern in the ocean. The energy of the paint organizes into the image we create together. For commissioned paintings, it’s essential for me to speak to the recipient, get a sense for who they are and what adventures life is inviting them to have. When I am holding the recipient in my mind as I work, the universe respond with an image or pattern that is perfect for that client. I’m humbled and amazed, every time, to see the recipients first view of the work created especially for them.
