Texture with Intention

My art is a constant experiment in how much texture I can get onto a canvas using just acrylic. The paint has a mind of its own most days—and I just try to keep up. Nothing’s clean, nothing’s planned. It’s unhinged, hands-on, and unapologetically messy. I scrape, slam, drag, and layer until I either can’t stand to look at it anymore or decide it’s done… for now. Some pieces come back to life months later with another layer or three—because nothing ever feels totally finished. Some days, it clicks; some days, it’s one step away from the trash—but that’s the point. The goal is texture with intention—raw, chaotic, and barely holding together in the best way.

“My signature is a thumbprint in paint—whatever feeling was left when the painting stopped asking for more. A little mark of love left behind on every piece.”
