Artist's Statement
I paint images of contemporary places and objects that have influenced me throughout my life. V.S. Crush was created for a series of paintings that shows the items I use in my routine of getting ready for the day. Putting on perfume is usually the last thing I do before I feel ready to leave the house.
I start each painting with sketching directly from the photograph to the canvas. To show my style which is loose, rough, and painterly. I use very few paint brushes to complete the work. Because of Acrylic Paints fast drying time I quickly mix the paint on the canvas and once it's slightly dry I use another brush to mix in more paint and create a texture.
