Subterrestrials is an exploration into the hidden worlds of nature - that which lives beneath the trees, below the pond scum, inside thickets, under fallen leaves, or revealed by melting snow. 
​Subterrestrials is also my exploration of and experimentation with color. 
​
Unless otherwise noted, these acrylic paintings are done on both sides of a Mylar surface (an opaque plastic paper),
which is later adhered to a 1.5" thick cradled wooden panel. Mylar produces the clear and obscure layers of these hidden worlds.
It also allows me to add and subtract.
