Artist & Naturalist
By weaving insights into tradition, place, and lore, I aim to shed light on the beauty of nature and the enjoyment of learning and living.
Vistas
The COVID-19 lockdown offered a unique perspective on solitude and silence, leading me to explore varying ridge lines in open vistas. In this series, I delve into how a landscape can serve as a mirror of personal experience with people.
With hopes to uncover the subtleties of human longing through shifting lines, shapes and dots of color, I explore narratives between community and individualism.
In artworks devoid of people, I find that viewers are invited to reflect on their own experiences of solitude, allowing for a deeper exploration of the human condition. This absence enhances the emotional resonance of the pieces and underscore the importance of community, human interaction, and connection during such a transformative period.
Portrait Commissions
I specialize in commissioned portraits using the Renaissance technique of grisaille, a method where a monochromatic underpainting—typically in shades of gray—establishes form and depth before vibrant color layers are applied. This meticulous process creates luminous, lifelike portraits, with rich tonal contrasts, echoing the mastery of Old Masters.
