WEAR THE ART

Same Art. New Canvas.

The patterns, colors and geometry in Wear the Art come directly from my original paintings. Here, they move beyond the wall and into everyday life — on sneakers, T-shirts, duffel bags and totes and more.

The art stays the same. The canvas changes.

Sneakers

T-Shirts

Bags

Mugs

FROM STUDIO TO STREET

Art doesn’t have to stay on the wall.

I’ve always been interested in what happens when art moves beyond the traditional places we expect to find it. The same color, pattern and geometry that give my paintings their energy can take on an entirely different life when they’re worn, carried or used every day.

That’s what Wear the Art is about. Not creating a separate line of graphics, but finding new ways for the work I make in the studio to become part of everyday life.
