THE PROCESS

After I disassemble a shipping pallet, I construct my canvas from various planks of different widths and species of trees. I select the proper subject that I feel has an affinity to the character of the variegated and textured planks. The wooden pallets have a whole other life of travel before being repurposed as art, symbolizing the depth of my subjects’ storied lives. Each has a history, an untold story of the places traveled and the products they have carried. On the front of each painting, I randomly place my thumbprint for originality and authenticity.
