21 new paintings. One intense season of work.
I’m presenting a new collection of 21 paintings at Gary Manuel Salon in Pioneer Square, Seattle, in collaboration with Center on Contemporary Art and the ShowWalls program.
My work is an atmospheric excavation of the urban pulse — a deliberate, high-end performance of texture and light. I treat the canvas as a site of construction rather than reflection.
Make no mistake: this is a show, not a confession. There is no diary to be read here. These works are not windows into a private struggle; they are mirrors of a public seduction.
Painting becomes a stage where color, movement, and texture perform — bold, unapologetic, and alive.
Welcome to this outrageous and joyful blast of color — a painterly spectacle in motion.

Hey! Some people have already sent me photos with my fire hydrant — and I love seeing them! 😍

But I’d really love it if you took a picture with it and sent it to me too!
Let’s have fun with it this year — strike a pose, get silly, bring a friend — whatever makes you smile! Renton Municipal Arts Commission

Immersed in the tranquility of Zen stones.
This abstract piece explores balance and serenity through earthy tones and stacked forms—a meditative journey for the eye and spirit.

You can see it now through the huge window at The Landing in Renton. Just walk by the side near the water and let the colors catch you.

🎉 EXCITING NEWS FROM DUBTOWN! 🎉

Now on tap: Rosilynn’s Upper West Coast IPA — a bold, malty IPA brewed exclusively in support of Seattle Children’s Hospital. 🍻 This one’s got a big heart and even bigger flavor — and it’s only on tap while it lasts. Trust us, it’s SO GOOD. 💥

And don’t forget — TONIGHT we’re teaming up with the amazing fusedpalette for the Renton Art Walk! 🎨 From 6–7PM, she’ll be leading a painting class right here at the brewery — we’re painting beer mugs with Mt. Rainier in the background (how perfect is that?!).

Missed sign-ups? No worries! Just DM us and we’ll get you on the books.
