Stories on Wood Collection

Stories on Wood

My canvases are crafted from old doors and reclaimed wood, showcasing their history through the unique wear of color and texture. I embrace this past by applying foundational layers of acrylic paint with my fingers. As images start to emerge from these finger-painted layers, I bring them to life by outlining their forms. Additional layers of color and detail unveil the latest story waiting to be told.

Some of my paintings are paired with narratives I've written, starting with "Once upon a time..." and concluding with "The End." To delve into the storytelling behind the art, click the button below.
