Northeast Corner was created on 16-degree winter’s day, capturing a striking view of Mass Ave in Indianapolis. Building with abstract forms of architecture and vibrant color, the painting’s play of space brings the scene to life. The piece is featured in the Netflix series Maniac. It was also published in the New York Times with Emma Stone and Jonah Hill.

Painted over the months of autumn, St. Elmo Southwest looks over a borough of Chattanooga, TN. Observations of nature in southern appalachia (passion fruit flowers appearing in the lawn) merge with specific color notes and evident mark making to capture the neighborhood. The painting hangs in the foyer of a historic home in Indianapolis.
