It\u2019s the place where everything slows down, where I can focus, reset, and just enjoy the process of making something from nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Most of my pieces are created using a combination of spray paint and brushwork. I like the contrast between the two\u2014the softness and control of a brush against the unpredictable, atmospheric effects of spray paint. Sometimes I lean fully into one or the other, but the balance between them is where a lot of the energy comes from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ll also find elements of digital mixed media woven into some of the work. These additions aren\u2019t meant to replace the physical process, but to expand on it\u2014adding another layer to the visual story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">A lot of these paintings come from places I\u2019ve been, things I\u2019ve seen, and ideas that stick with me. But more than anything, painting is something that grounds me. It\u2019s where I feel the most present, the most focused, and honestly, the most at peace.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading10_59e13f-6e, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading10_59e13f-6e[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading10_59e13f-6e\"]{text-align:center;font-size:var(--global-kb-font-size-xxl, 4rem);font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading10_59e13f-6e mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading10_59e13f-6e[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading10_59e13f-6e\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading10_59e13f-6e img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading10_59e13f-6e[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading10_59e13f-6e\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading10_59e13f-6e wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading10_59e13f-6e\">Sculpture &amp; Cane Work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:29% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"347\" height=\"463\" src=\"https:\/\/gratefulgoods.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/py-18.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gratefulgoods.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/py-18.jpg 347w, https:\/\/gratefulgoods.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/py-18-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 347px) 100vw, 347px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve been working with polymer clay since 1993, returning to it over the years as one of my most hands-on and expressive mediums.
