Welcome to HHArtAlchemy.

There is rarely a plan.

Most paintings begin with a vague idea, a dangerous amount of confidence, and the completely unsupported belief that this is definitely going to work.

Sometimes it does.

Sometimes it becomes a new technique.

Sometimes we don't talk about it again.

You'll find paint experiments, rabbit holes, accidental discoveries, texture, granulation, beautiful mistakes, and the occasional moment where I stare at a painting and wonder which one of us is in charge.

When not painting, I can usually be found contemplating the universe or researching obscure things I absolutely do not need to know.

If you refuse to rinse the pigment sludge out of the bottom of your dirty water jar because it is "developing character," then you are among friends.

We meet monthly under the unhinged moon.

Bring your sludge.
