Embark on a visual journey with my brand new body of work, “Tech Decks”, a 20 piece collection of multi layered skateboard decks. This series began with a powerful and visceral nod to the impact of a snowboarding injury upon graduating college. The skateboards manifest a raw, almost bloody inception, mirroring the chaotic and unpredictable nature of life’s challenges. Finding solace and motivation in the parallel between board sports, the art of painting and technology, I found all three demanded a tenacious spirit willing to embrace failure as a crucial part of the learning process.

A meticulous layering process unfolds, as acrylics and spray paint dance atop the boards, each layer contributing to the evolving narrative of resilience and growth. Through the transformative addition of using resin, a layer of depth and tactile quality is built. Thus allowing an invitation inside the layers and timeline of each painting. Navigating a cycle of repetition: masking, painting, curing, and sanding, a rhythmic dance is created both mirroring the continuous pursuit of perfection and the iterative journey of both art and life. In each board, the viewer glimpses not just a piece of art but a chronicle of triumph over adversity, inviting all to appreciate the beauty born from the union of passion and perseverance.
