I'm at AXLE STUDIOS No. 9 @ 301 W 4th St, along with other Axle artists, such as , , , , and other Tucson artists.

I thought the painting-in-process I’ve been posting images of was coming together, but I was wrong.

One idea about creating art is that it is, fundamentally, a way to organize visual information. For my creative process, this is almost always about getting out of the way, so that the “information” can organize itself.

Sometimes that means leaving a piece alone when it’s not working and coming back to it an hour, a day, months or even years later. Once I start working on that painting again, sometimes I have an idea about the next step.

Inevitably, within a few minutes of working towards that half-formed image in my mind, playing with the materials in the moment completely changes where I end up taking the painting. That process of following the unknown always yields more interesting results than when I try to force the original vision that was in my mind.

The previous few and next several posts are from the same painting-in-process.

You can see it in my Tucson art studio and at The Other Art Fair in Dallas coming up May 7-10, 2026 at the Dallas Market Hall.
