This painting started out as an exploration of the Greek meander pattern. This pushed me further into Greek iconography. Which led me to the Xiphos, a double-edged, one-handed Iron Age straight shortsword. Colors were also inspired by the era. I pixellated the design of the sword to keep with the block motif. There is some loose symbolism of the sword representing the mind. And so is placed on a pedestal, “glowing”, and piercing the upper bounds of the meander pattern.

This started out as a practice piece. Trying out different brushes, applying paint, and layering colors.

Started working on it in March 2024 and finished it in April 2025.

Originally started in 2017. It sat half finished for many years. Finally got myself to sit down and knock it out.

I took a sticker I had made from an older painting, cut it up, and rearranged the wording to develop this painting.

30”x40” Acrylic paint on canvas.

Inspired by Hilma af Klint’s Dove Series. The starting idea was to create Klint’s No. 1 using a limaçon (a roulette curve formed by the path of a point fixed to a circle when that circle rolls around another circle). This caused other proportions to need alteration. Colors remained close to the original. The purpose of creating this painting was to gain a deeper understanding of Klint’s body of work.

30”x40” Acrylic paint on canvas.

Inspired by Hilma af Klint’s The Evolution - The WUS/Seven-Pointed Star Series, Group VI. Mostly a synthesis of No. 15 and No. 16.

When it was nearly finished I came across a diagram based on the insights Carl Jung had regarding the self. The intent of this painting was to learn more of the meaning behind Klint’s shape/color language.

Inspired by Hilma af Klint’s Altarpieces Series. The very beginning of this piece started with the idea of squaring the circle. Less so in the construction but more so in the proportional relationship between a circle and square with the same area.

I then realized that I could combine No. 1 and No. 2 in the Altarpieces Series. As I was constructing the linework I saw a way to work in No. 3. This painting was made with the intention of learning the symbolism and shape/color language Klint used.

While painting Cosmic Egg I became curious about labyrinths and mazes. The white and gold square is the seed of this labyrinth. The top center-right of the white square is the official beginning to the labyrinth. I wanted to incorporate more mythos and so tried to find a way to allude to the story of the minotaur.

So the top section was added as the idea of going down into the dark. Then you enter the labyrinth in brightness but must traverse back into the depths as you progress. To me, it parallels with one’s consciousness.

The second image is a painting I did for a friend. It was that seed of an idea that led to this piece. The black spiral was inspired by Hilma af Klint’s Parsifal Series - Group 1 - No. 1

30”x40” Acrylic paint on canvas. Started by dividing the vertical space by 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/7, 1/8. 1/9, 1/10. Then used the same division horizontally but from the center outwards.

One squared represented as the center white circle. Two squared are the circles touching the outer edge of the center white circle. Three squared circles are scaled so that the outer ring of circles touches the edges of the two squared circles. This pattern continues for four squared.

Starting at 1 in the center, each ring adds one more circle. Each ring has the same number of colors.

Painting began by dividing the canvas into thirds from the bottom center to the top corners. The spaces were then divided into thirds again. Star burst pattern is created by taking a circle and dividing it by 3/3/3/3. The white stripes are finished with a glow in the dark pigment.

Based on my painting “Move Over the Waters”. Emerging out of the void are rings. Each ring is divided into portions along the pattern of the Fibonacci Sequence.

A flower pattern emerged out of a set of overlapping circles. While painting, I noticed the vague shape of a hamsa. Following the pattern of past hamsa symbols, I included the eye. Later the outside edges felt like webs and I began to see a spider within the hamsa. Once all of the pieces were painted the piece finally felt complete.

Concentric copies of the Enneagram shape. The ninth copy is the boundary for the circle. With each iteration the yellow and blue combos oscillate. Within the yellow combo are 3 colors that oscillate. Within the blue combo are 4 colors that oscillate. Outside the circle are 2 colors that oscillate. Total of nine colors.

36”x24” Acrylic on canvas. This painting began as a curiosity. Taking the length of the right side and dividing it by two, I marked that length on the top side and connected that point to the bottom right corner. Continuing the pattern I took the remaining length of the top side to mark a distance on the left side. I continued working my way around the space, spiraling inwards. After the first set of division I took each of the angles that were created and divided them in half. Arcs were then placed on each vertex and at the middle point of each line segment. Then more strange rules that I made up as I went that pushed this to be what it is.

Acrylic paint on canvas. This painting began as another shape based painting. I kept seeing a bird shape and pyramid shape and knew there were more elements that needed to be mixed together. Fibonacci sequence is used heavily.

Acrylic paint, ink, glow in the dark pigment on canvas. This is part of my continued work with color and texture. Seeing how each shade effects the neighbor shade. Seeing how flat color feels next to speckled color.

Acrylic paint on canvas. The underlying structure is based off 2 golden spirals offset by the golden angle. All of the wall tiles are concentric circles to the vanishing point. Everything was repainted at least twice as precision became more and more important.

2017

Acrylic paint on canvas. This is based on an optical illusion. The pattern of the small checkered boxes makes the mind think the pattern is spiraling. But they are all concentric circles!

2016

Acrylic on canvas. This painting started out as a practice piece. It slowly evolved into what it is now. My thought while creating this was how everything springs forth from a seed. Each part similar but different. Each supporting and enhancing the other.

Acrylic paint on canvas. The altitude of the first triangle is the radius of the next circle. The altitude of the triangle created within that circle is then used as the radius for the next iteration.

While painting this I thought of the growth of the ego. One draws upon the past. Making choices that will then be imprinted onto the person we are growing into.
