"Happy Thoughts"

 
My dear friend Kat is a Lawyer.  Having had many professional jobs, I completely understand that there is a demand for better corporate artwork.  She came to me this year asking that I make her a painting for her office that felt lighthearted and fun. Each of the bubbles in this painting represent a happy memory I have with Kat, and as you can see there are many.

THE BROAD

The Broad is LA's new contemporary art museum housing and displaying the masterpieces collected over the last 50 years by philanthropists Eli and Edy Broad. The $140-million structure, designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro (also responsible for the High Line) in collaboration with Gensler, has a unique honeycomb exterior bringing in bright light to fill the museums walls. The Broad presents its extensive 2,000+ piece collection of contemporary art downtown LA, offering free admission to everyone who walks through its doors.  From Basquait, Keith Haring, Cy Twombly, Ed Ruscha, Christopher Wool, and Jeffrey Koons this museum definitely has it all.  See my snaps from my recent trip below!

MAY 2015 - NEW WORK (SUMMER SERIES)

When I think of creating a new painting series, I start off with an idea -generally a thumbnail sketch- and quickly work on a few pieces at a time. My energy and patience is often limited so when I see an opportunity to create (even if its 3 am) I go for it. These latest paintings where inspired by color and creating movement with shape. My desire to make people feel good when they look at my work is always my end goal. I've posted the latest series below, each measuring 36 x 36". ENJOY!
