"Torn." September 2025

2" x 3" Ink, pencil, wax, masking tape, and marker on canvas in a custom 3D printed Cuban link frame.

“On a little vacation, this was a spur of the moment piece.

"Hey Nolan, you wanna add something to my mini piece gallery wall?"

It's hard to say no to that when you're surrounded by work and 2 artists you're inspired by.

As hard as this year has been for me, I've done my best to find solace in the little things. This piece happens to encompass that thought. Working with such a limited amount of space when I typically paint at 100x that dimension, I think IS the lesson.

Moments are fleeting, but how something makes you feel... That's impossible to wash away.”
