My favorite style of spontaneous painting, I call these works “geode paintings” because like cracking open a geode rock, I never know what I’m going to end up with when I start.

I’ve been doing these kinds of spontaneous works ever since I began painting in 2012. For the most part, the process is the same no matter the media; I rely on spontaneity and chance to guide the process, and work quickly by mixing the paint on the canvas straight from the tube. Most of the time, I’m pleasantly surprised by what reveals itself after repeated cycles of turning the canvas 360 degrees and blending colors along the way.
