The series (2018) continues to explores floral stencil patterns, and how I use the stencils as their own visual language like a brush. My work at this point, tends to be multi-layered, rich with abstract, "painterly" mark-making, watercolor-inspired washes and "blobs," and the structure of patterned shapes. Color is always an important aspect of all my work. I pick colors from interior design color schemes and use pre-made colors from craft and hardware stores. Oftentimes, the titles of my works are the main pre-made color that I chose to set the "tone" for the work. I'm constantly interested in blurring the lines between what is the decorative and what is contemporary abstract painting.
