about conor

Hey! I’m Conor from St. Louis, MO (BFA 2012). l paint colorful, textured, abstract landscapes that evoke human movement, imagination and nature.

My work is born from a life-long struggle with learning disabilities that built a vast, internal-imaginary world. What you’re seeing on the canvas is the translation of that internal landscape to reality - the movement, texture and marks are all composed to give a sense of place or state of mind.

I use large washes of acrylic color, often on raw canvas or with plaster. Much of my work is made through the process of repetitive movement - the excavating of colors underneath a texture or soaking color again and again into canvas. These repetitive processes echo my struggle to translate whats in my head (my internal-imaginary world) to whats on the canvas.
