Using wine as an artistic medium is unique, unpredictable, and took many years to control.
Over the last 11 years I have mastered the ability to create unique and highly detailed paintings using wine.
By using wine straight out of the bottle and the wine sediment, I am able to achieve various depths in colour as well as the medium itself. Painting with wine is similar to painting with watercolour pigment. However, when painting with the sediment it is similar to acrylic paints.

Bath Abbey Church
I fell in love with this chandelier while visiting the Bath Abbey Church in Bath, UK. The fan vaulted ceilings were breathtaking and I took a million reference shots while there.
With this piece I used ink for the chandelier and aged Cabernet Franc wine throughout the background. Since the wine was already aged it won't change much over time.
As of right now the original is for sale. I'm on the fence of offering limited edition prints of it.
The Tiger
I used Cabernet Franc wine for this piece. By using the sediment and reducing the bottled wine I was able to achieve a few different colour tones. I've relied on ink for the dark areas and white acrylic for the additional white areas where I needed more highlights over what the paper provided.
*Limited Edition Prints are available.
