Palette Cleanser Series

Palette Cleansers

Original paintings · 2025 - 2026

Palette Cleansers is a series of original works born quietly alongside my larger canvases beginning in 2025.

These paintings began as my palettesthe surfaces where colors were mixed, tested, layered, and abandoned while I worked. Traditionally, these areas are viewed as purely functional: tools meant to be scraped clean or thrown away. Over time, I stopped seeing them that way.

I began to notice that each palette carried the emotional residue of the body of work it helped create. They became visual records of intuition and decision-making; snapshots of my subconscious state. If my finished canvases are the right brain, these palettes are the left: analytical, instinctive, and unexpectedly expressive.

Too precious to discard once they achieved their own harmony, I selected my favorite palettes from and transformed them into a standalone collection. Each piece is entirely unique and unrepeatable; an honest byproduct of the creative process itself.

Palette Cleansers offers an intimate way to own one of my original paintings for under $100.
Each work is signed by hand and presented in a 16” × 12” white matte, ready to be framed and lived with.

A small, meaningful artifact of a larger story; meant to be collected, not cleaned away.
