The
Painting System
During my semester in painting, my professor Casey encouraged me to bring my technical background in design into the course. I experimented with unconventional tools, including a battery-powered mini mixer for acrylics and calipers to control spacing and tolerances in Translucent Horizons. To support this workflow, I built a modular painting system that keeps tools organized, reduces setup friction, and encourages iteration. The system expanded organically over the semester as I developed new skills. Using it, I produced The Presidio, Translucent Horizons, and additional works since last fall.
Tools: Paint Brush, laser cutter, 3D printer, Liquitex soft body acrylics

Generous chamfers improve safety and comfort allowing paints to be secure but easily replaced. Supporting a flexible workflow.
Dissatisfied with existing paint organization systems, I designed and fabricated a modular setup around Liquitex Soft Acrylics using CAD, 3D printing, and a laser-cut base adapted from the open-source Gridfinity system.
