Houses and Buildings
I have always loved looking at buildings and the way that they pile upon each other. More recently, I have started illustrating the city around me and my favorite buildings. For this project, I start with a pencil sketch. Once I am happy with the sketch, I ink with pens. The last stage is the watercolor paints. This setup lends itself to portability and painting on site, which is a key factor for my process.

Interiors
I started painting my studio space in 2018. After doing three of these, I was hooked. I fell in love with exploring how we collect items and make spaces our own. I started drawing and painting my spaces and the spaces I found myself in. This practice became a cataloging of space and possessions.

Geometrics
I love exploring geometric non-representational ideas. I find that this is the work that challenges me as an individual and as an artist. Abandoning representation allows exploration of pure aesthetic and form. I find this challenging, demanding and invigorating.
