Painting does not include poster rails for hanging. Original signature on back.

Acrylic ink on transparent yupo paper (30”x ~35”).

On the way to McCabe for a run, I drivee through the Sylvan neighborhoods and spotted the most beautiful varieties of Bearded Irises. I stopped to take pictures of said beauties and maybe overstepped my boundaries ?

Material + Process (Transparent Yupo Works)

These works are made on thin, transparent Yupo—a non-absorbent surface where paint does not settle in, but sits on top, moves, and sometimes pools or breaks unpredictably. Droplets, slips, and small imperfections are part of the process, not removed, but left as evidence of how the image formed in real time.

The material holds both control and accident at once. Edges shift, pigment drifts, and marks can feel suspended rather than fixed.

Each piece is hung with poster rails so it remains lightly suspended from the wall. Light passes through the surface, and the work changes depending on what it is seen against—becoming part image, part object, part atmosphere.

Irises Around the City (Residential Yards)

I notice irises while moving through Nashville—in driveways, fences, and overlooked edges of neighborhoods. I stop for them often. Over time, this became a kind of quiet practice: collecting them visually as they appear and disappear across the city.

These are painted on thin, transparent Yupo, which shifts how I see them as I work. Light moves through the surface, and the image feels less fixed—like a moment briefly caught rather than permanently stored.
