Gallery: Seeing Space
Visible light is a fraction of energy we see on the electromagnetic spectrum, which leads me to further explore the vast representations of colors in space. All listed are Acrylic Paintings.
The Light That Can Be Heard - 24”x 36”
In Sami language, the Northern Lights are called “Guovssahas”, which translates to “The Light that Can Be Heard”. Acrylic paint, ink, powdered pigments and resin make up this mixed media painting. Powdered pigments give the illusion the lights dance across the sky like moving sand.

Gallery: Cosmic Water
Painting water as a reflection of the cosmos has been a favorite theme for me. Cosmic Swim is an abstract series inspired by the powerful surging waters in springtime. This series also serves as a visual representation of the healing effects of Nature. This series has a much cooler palette, and these paintings are guided by fluidity of acrylic inks that give a watercolor-like feel.
