An Observation
Saturday, September 5th, 2009From the disastrous results of the Iranian election to the religious moral differences that create debate in seemingly every country in the world, I have found it boils down to one thing: you just can't tell people what to do. Just an observation. Presenting my largest work to date An Observation: 40" ...
Kelly Evers Jackson @ Soapbox Gallery
Saturday, September 5th, 2009I finally got my paintings off of the internet and out of my house, and into the world beyond my walls! My show at Soapbox ran from 8/22 to 9/3. Thanks to everyone who came out to support and thanks to Jimmy Greenfield at Soapbox for big-upping a scrapper such as ...
Everyone is Asymmetrical
Saturday, July 18th, 2009I tried some new things on this one.- verticality and cool tones. After having recently been "Blackberried" by my employer, I thought I'd also sneak in a little ode my new best buddy. Everyone is Asymmetrical 14"x18" Ink, Mixed Media on canvas Details:

daf-2 vs. daf-16
Saturday, July 12th, 2008The human genome is a wondrous thing. For this, my lastest completed foray into larger sized paintings, I was inspired by our tiny ubiquitous friends, daf-2 and daf-16. These two genes are thee two, out of the bijillion others we've got which comprise a helix, that are responsible for ...
Noble Cause
Saturday, July 12th, 2008Noble Cause was my first attempt at going large scale with the "tectonic shift" style of my small format work. I made this painting for my beautiful, wonderful, architect friend Malin, who hales from Sweden. I was excited to send the painting to Europe as she dutifully bragged about her ...
Tectonic Shift
Saturday, April 12th, 2008My paintings are a combination of abstract and representational drawing and collage combined with colorful pools of staining. I like to draw on canvas because of the way it sucks up the ink as soon as I make a line. When I stain my canvas, I like to call it ...
