Wildfire

Wildfire began as an experiment: creating an ink-in-water explosion to match a perfume bottle. As the experiment unfolded, a fire erupted in the water, and in it I saw a person's face. I kept going and made many more experiments, each one showing fire in water.

Fire in water is an oxymoron, and the series became my response to global warming and the wildfires we were seeing across California.

In 2019, Wildfire was chosen for a juried exhibit at Aqua Art Miami Beach during Art Basel, presented by ASMP NYC and curated by Pamela Jean Tinnen, Director and Lead Curator of NYU Kimmel Galleries and Director of YSP Gallery. The series has since been entered in many shows.

The same control of liquid, color and motion carries into my commercial work, from beverage pours to product launches.
