abˈbɔttso · a sketch, outline, draft ·
I draw and paint people and places,
combining observational representation with expressive mark-making. My approach emphasizes process, using layering and iteration to search for form rather than locking it into place. I want the art to feel alive - embodying movement, space, and an unfolding moment in time.
THE IMPASTO COLLECTION
Oil paint applied thick enough to leave small geological formations.
THE DISEGNO COLLECTION
Sketchbook observations, experiments, and the occasional happy accident with watercolors
THE FIGURA COLLECTION
Large-format figure drawings made while racing the timer and collecting charcoal smudges
