Abstract Realism Paintings: Reflections

In this series multiple viewpoints converge within a single reflection, creating a new, two-dimensional reality. Ordinary objects are repurposed as compositional elements, transforming an everyday moment into a visual puzzle.

Perspective and dimension are deliberately distorted, and titles offer little guidance, inviting open-ended interpretation. The five paintings at the top are intentionally more simplified, leaning more into abstraction, with minimal reference to the observable world.

This body of work continues my ongoing exploration of visual tension, navigating between what is seen and what is sensed.

Note: With the exception of the prototype, these paintings are based on photographs I took on Commercial Street in Provincetown. 

Abstract Realism Paintings: Objects and Faceless Portraits

What we surround ourselves with can be seen as an extension of the self. Identity can be fluid; it can be tied to both the original object it depicts, as well as its interpretation in its final flattened, abstracted state.

Biomorphic Geometrics

These were the first abstract paintings I produced after making the switch from portraiture. They were inspired by an exhibition in Philadelphia of plans and elevations by landscape architect Harriet Pattison.
