“The Talk Vacuum” - 2025

Approx. 60” x 48” | Acrylic on Shaped Masonite | $1200

My newest puzzle painting, a more sophisticated design and concept, focusing less on artist block, and more on the wave of success, and how experience and failure brought it to be. The Talk Vacuum is a beautiful and frightful take on how communication, experimentation, and upbringing can shape not only an artist’s creation, but their personal life.

This painting was inspired by my hometown of Tillsonburg, along with all of the things that not only influenced me and brought happiness, but the things that pushed me down and brought pain. I thank it all for who I am today.

First painting of a triptych.

Music I listened to at the time:

• Flight B741 - KGLW

• Presence - Led Zeppelin

• Rage Against the Machine
