Make Me a Channel, 2022, acrylic and urethane on canvas, 40 x 60 inches

I create unique, intuitive formulations of water-based paint using acrylic and urethane media made on the spot while creating the works. Doing so enables me to fine tune the response of each paint mixture to achieve the desired effect. My paintings examine the richness of the present moment while referring to emotional reverberations of the past.—Jonathan Herbert
