HOWDY FROM THE HWY

This series grew out of two things: a love for the western state’s road trip and a day when I ran out of canvas. Left staring at an old brown historical marker sign hanging on the wall of my studio, I flipped it around and started painting. The idea stuck. Each piece pairs imagery with a specific place, often actual, sometimes imagined, tapping into the way travel, memory, and landscape intertwine. The materials are salvaged aluminum panels finished with powder coating, fish-scale reflective lettering, archival marker, graphite crayon, layered to deepen the blacks and shadows. Mounted in flush-edge frame, the works aren’t intentionally distressed but the slight imperfections that occur in the process are welcomed. Most pieces are produced as sculptural editions of ten.
