“Just Don’t Overthink It” is my first conceptual body of work as an abstract expressionist mixed media painter. The series marks a significant point in my career as an artist.

Ironically, I did nothing but overthink the placement of every scratch, scribble and splash of paint in these pieces. As a formally trained fine art photographer, it took years of working through my self-doubt to feel confident enough to share my work as a multimedia artist.  

With this series, I want to convey a visual conversation between the viewer and I that not only captures the kinetic energy that went into creating each piece, but also conveys emotion and vulnerability.  A harsh scribble representing a moment of frustration, or a bright splatter of paint depicting a burst of laughter with a friend. 

“Just Don’t Overthink It” is me at my most vulnerable.
