Some idea gets me off the fence, a shape, a color, something that's been sitting with me. Once I'm in, it's a wrestling match. I take a risk, then respond to it. Add to it. Cover it. Push back on it if it's not working.
The material comes from everywhere. A good day, an argument, something read, something said. I'm not interested in confessing where a painting started. I try to give it what it needs compositionally and stop worrying about the subject that got it going.
The reward is in staying with it longer. That's my job, keep it interesting enough, curious enough, that it gives something back the more someone spends time with it.

Featured Work
Drew is an artist and father of two living in Portsmouth, NH. He's built his practice through deep study of art history, collaborations with artists locally and internationally, and relentless experimentation in the studio. Every opportunity becomes a way to expand his visual vocabulary, one that exists before words, in the space where feeling and material meet. Each painting is a negotiation between control and chaos, memory and invention. His continuous practice connects him with the raw immediacy of seeing and making, where imagination doesn't need permission or explanation.
