All paintings in my abstract Ornaglyph series come from spontaneous, stream-of-conscious methods. Usually each piece is started with quickly made marks such as blobs, squiggles or puddles. From there I start building up layers, creating a chaotic, jumbled scene. I typically work with thin layers of paint, playing off the trans-lucidity and ultra saturated colors of acryla-gouache. My aim with these pieces is to provide a scene of a newly invented world where the looker will find something new with each viewing. It’s a lot of fun to hear what people see.

This piece was painted with acryla-gouache, paint marker, and ink on a stretched canvas. A maple floater frame finishes off the piece, and is wired for hanging. While I added a wire for one orientation, the painting can really be hung in nearly any direction.
