Estabrook’s artistic journey is marked by a delightful playfulness intertwined with a meticulous approach to painting. In each artwork, Estabrook merges the precision honed from his dental education with a childlike sense of joy and curiosity. Through the application of thick, richly pigmented brushstrokes, Estabrook creates textured surfaces that evoke the tactile qualities of terrycloth, velvet, and plush fabrics.
The inspiration for his artistic odyssey arose during his time in dental school, where he found solace in creating paintings of enlarged currencies as a response to mounting student debt. This pivotal experience led him to recognize the potential of pursuing an artistic career. As his exploration continued, Estabrook ventured into a series of colorful skulls, allowing him to freely experiment with color and technique, eventually developing his distinctive brushwork and color palette.
