In the midst of working on "LUMINOSITY" in the Summer of 2018,
I became inspired to create a series of paintings that captured each of the four seasons.
​Each series consists of five paintings that mirrors my emotional connection to that particular season.


PART ONE 
"SUMMERHOOD" (2018)

"SUMMERHOOD" is about the freedom of childhood in the Summer.
I chose summer-related toys, in which I zoomed in on the image, to give the feeling that the item is larger than actually is,
​or that you are smaller than you actually are.
"SPLASH"
"WHAM-O"
"RAD"
"FOURTH"
"SLIDE"

PART TWO
"AUTUMNIST" (2018)

"AUTUMNIST" comes from the title of one of my earlier paintings from 2013 ("The Autumnist").
Autumn is my favorite of all the seasons, and I focused on the dying landscape, with subdued sepia tones to add to the melancholy.
​Each painting is titled after a song by the band Shelleyan Orphan, whom I associate with this time of the year.

PART THREE
"WINTERLONG" (2019)

"WINTERLONG" captures the dichotomous nature of the season - brutally cold, while at the same time remarkably gorgeous.
I can't wait for it to be over, but wish it could last forever.
​I also titled each painting from songs from a band that always reminded me of the Winter - The Cocteau Twins.

PART FOUR 
"SPRINGBORN" (2019)

My children were born in the beginning of April, and I chose to use the rebirth of flowers as my representation.
Going back to seeing things through the eyes of a child, I macro-focused on the flower to bring up the finer points.
In keeping in step with the previous seasons, I titled these paintings based on album titles (not song titles) of a band I love and associate with the Springtime,
​from Australia - The Church.
