Our work speaks for itself

Take a look at a selection of our recent and past projects, crafted with care and designed to make an impact. Each one tells a story of creativity, collaboration, and results.

Oil Pastel Series (2025)

This oil pastel series explores color as a living force, layered, fluid, and emotionally charged. Created in 2025, the works move between abstraction and figuration, weaving together landscapes, symbolic figures, and imagined environments. Sweeping bands of color flow across the surface like memory, water, and terrain, creating spaces that feel both grounded and dreamlike.

The materiality of oil pastel plays a central role in the series. Thick, hand-blended pigments are pushed, pulled, and layered to create depth and movement, allowing colors to merge and resist one another. These gestures echo natural processes such as erosion, current, and growth, while also reflecting inner states of curiosity, protection, and transformation. Figures and animals emerge not as literal portraits, but as guardians, witnesses, and companions within these shifting worlds.

Together, the works invite slow looking. They ask viewers to move through color the way one might move through a landscape, following rhythms, noticing transitions, and allowing emotion to surface without fixed narrative. This series marks a moment of openness and experimentation in my practice, where intuition guides composition and color becomes a language for connection, imagination, and care.

Greece Series (2025)

The Greece Series began before the journey itself. In early 2025, I painted a sunset scene with white hillside homes as an act of longing and imagination, a quiet wish for travel and immersion. The painting lived in my home for less than a year before that imagined place became real, guiding the decision to travel to Greece and explore its islands firsthand.

Once there, drawing became a daily ritual. These works were created as travel sketches, made on ferry rides, during early morning sunrises, and as the light shifted at sunset across the islands. I drew quickly and intuitively, responding to architecture, water, color, and movement as they unfolded in real time. Each sketch holds a specific moment, a pause between destinations, a quiet observation made while moving through place.

Although I traveled with watercolor paints, the materials evolved along the way. In Syros, one of my favorite islands, known for its marbled streets and layered textures, I discovered handmade circular paper and metallic paints. The circular format became a natural frame for memory and place, echoing the feeling of looking through a lens or holding a world in the palm of your hand. The metallic pigments catch light subtly, mirroring the reflective quality of the sea, stone, and sky that surrounded me.

Together, this series is both a travel record and a meditation on desire, movement, and arrival. These works trace the path from imagination to experience, capturing fleeting moments while honoring the way place lingers long after the journey ends.

Puerto Rico Series (2024)

This series was inspired by a trip to Puerto Rico at the end of 2023 and developed into a five-panel painting that unfolds across the wall like a shifting horizon. The panels function both individually and together, reflecting the way islands appear and connect through movement and memory.

Much of the work draws from time spent on Culebra, a smaller island linked by a bridge that was under construction during our stay. Each day involved parking on one side and walking across toward our hillside Airbnb, an experience that shaped the rhythm and scale of the compositions. Alongside the paintings, a hat mirror mural captures the view of two nested islands, using reflection to place the viewer within the landscape.

Together, these works explore travel as transition rather than destination, using color and form to map the physical and emotional experience of moving through place.

Rainbow Dot Series (2021)

This dot painting series explores movement, texture, and color through repetition and rhythm. One work draws inspiration from the Great Sand Dunes National Park, where swirling patterns and shifting forms echo wind-shaped land and the constant motion of sand. The dots curve and spiral, creating a sense of terrain in flux, as if the landscape itself is breathing and rearranging.

The remaining three panels focus on wave-like textures built directly into the surface. The dots respond to the physical ridges of the panels, growing smaller and larger as they move across the form. Color transitions gradually, blending into soft gradients that suggest depth, light, and flow rather than fixed imagery.

Each piece is finished with a layer of resin, sealing the surface and enhancing the luminosity of the colors. The glossy finish adds depth and reflection, reinforcing the sense of movement and inviting viewers to slow down and experience the work as a meditative, immersive field rather than a static image.

Watercolor Series (2021-2022)

This watercolor series grew from travel, hiking, and time spent observing landscapes across the United States. Each piece began as a photograph taken in the moment, later translated into watercolor as a way to slow down and reconnect with the experience of being there. The works focus on natural forms, light, and color, balancing careful linework with the fluid, unpredictable nature of watercolor.

The Birds of Paradise flower was inspired by a photograph taken in Hawaii, capturing the sculptural quality and vibrant energy of tropical growth. The aloe vera plant comes from hiking through the island mountains of Arizona, where desert plants thrive in harsh, elevated terrain. Delicate desert flowers were observed while hiking Canyonlands in Utah, highlighting resilience and softness within an expansive landscape. The stacked rocks reference a quiet moment along a California beach during a drive up Highway 1, while the cypress trees were inspired by swimming in freshwater springs in Florida, surrounded by trunks rising from still, blue water.

Together, these works form a visual journal of place and movement. The series reflects an early exploration of nature as both subject and guide, capturing moments of stillness, discovery, and connection through color, line, and memory.

Sea Creature Series (2021-2023)

The Sea Creature Series explores the ocean as a place of wonder, movement, and quiet reverence. Created between 2021 and 2023, these works draw inspiration from marine life encountered through travel, research, and imagination. Turtles, whale sharks, octopus, and schools of fish become both subjects and symbols, representing resilience, curiosity, and interconnected ecosystems beneath the surface.

Color plays a central role in the series. Bold, layered palettes and flowing linework echo the rhythms of water and current, while simplified forms allow each creature to feel both familiar and mythic. Some works scale up into murals and installations, inviting viewers to step into an immersive underwater world, while others remain more intimate, focusing on gesture, pattern, and movement.

Together, the series reflects a deep respect for the ocean and its inhabitants. These works are not literal depictions, but emotional interpretations that celebrate marine life as guardians of balance and reminders of our shared responsibility to protect fragile environments. The Sea Creature Series invites viewers to slow down, look closely, and reconnect with the sense of awe that lives beneath the waves.

Floral & Animal Series (2021)

The Floral & Animal Series brings together gentle animal portraits and expressive botanical forms, blending realism with playful abstraction. Created in 2021, these works layer soft, grayscale animal imagery with vibrant hand-painted florals and foliage, allowing color and gesture to act as a form of adornment and character.

Flowers are placed not as decoration alone, but as extensions of personality, growth, and care. Each animal becomes a quiet presence, calm and observant, while the florals introduce movement, color, and emotional tone. The contrast between muted fur textures and bold botanical shapes creates a balance of stillness and energy, tenderness and strength.

Together, the series explores themes of gentleness, protection, and connection to the natural world. These works invite a sense of warmth and approachability, offering portraits that feel both lighthearted and intimate, where animals and plants coexist as symbols of calm, resilience, and quiet joy.

Vintage Art with Color Pencil Geometer (2021)

This series emerged from a personal archive, combining found vintage artwork from my mother’s home with precise geometric drawings rendered in colored pencil. The original pieces carry their own history and quiet presence, shaped by time, material, and memory. Rather than altering or obscuring them, I treated these works as a foundation to build upon.

Layered on top of the vintage surfaces are concentric circles and repeating geometric patterns drawn carefully by hand. Using colored pencil allowed for subtle transparency and softness, so the new marks sit in conversation with the original imagery rather than overpowering it. The circles introduce rhythm, balance, and structure, creating a visual contrast between organic aging and deliberate, contemporary geometry.

Together, the series explores themes of inheritance, continuity, and transformation. It reflects an early interest in blending past and present, honoring what already exists while adding a new layer of intention. These works act as quiet collaborations across time, where memory, design, and careful mark making meet.

Blue Ridge Mountain Series (2020)

The Blue Ridge Mountain Series was created during a road trip from Missouri to Florida, shaped by long hours of travel, changing light, and time spent outdoors. One of the larger works was completed while camping in Florida with my family, grounding the series in both movement and stillness, observation and rest.

Each piece is painted on plywood using blue wood stain, diluted with white stain to create layered tones for each mountain range. The translucent stains allow the wood grain to remain visible, adding warmth and texture while echoing the atmospheric depth of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Overlapping forms build rhythm and distance, capturing the way mountains fade and shift as they recede into the horizon.

Together, the series reflects a quiet response to travel and landscape. Rather than documenting a single place, these works focus on the feeling of passing through, where memory, light, and terrain blend into simplified forms and a limited, meditative palette.

The Anatomy in the Atelier series is an exploration of the human form as both structure and expression. Created between 2020 and 2022, these works emerged from studio practice and close study, blending observational anatomy with abstraction, color, and gesture. The body is treated not as a fixed subject, but as a shifting landscape shaped by movement, emotion, and internal rhythm.

Across the series, figures are fragmented, layered, and reassembled. Some works emphasize musculature and posture, while others dissolve the body into planes of color, pattern, and line. Geometric elements and bold palettes intersect with painterly marks, creating tension between control and intuition, analysis and feeling. The atelier becomes a space of experimentation, where formal study gives way to personal interpretation.

Together, these works reflect an evolving relationship with the human figure. The series captures moments of vulnerability, strength, and transformation, inviting viewers to consider anatomy not only as physical form, but as a vessel for identity, experience, and inner life.

Mountain Series (2015-2016)

The Mountain Series was created while I was living in Boulder, Colorado, during a period when climbing, backpacking, and extended time in alpine environments shaped both my daily life and my studio practice. These paintings are direct responses to lived experience, made after returning from the mountains rather than from photographs alone.

One work grew from climbing Mount Elbert, the highest fourteener in Colorado. The physical effort of the ascent and the expansive views informed the layered forms and shifting colors that reflect elevation, distance, and breath. Another painting was inspired by a backpacking trip through the Teton and Wind River Range during a solar eclipse, where I painted a reflection pool at the highest point of the trail, capturing stillness and vastness suspended in a rare moment of light and shadow.

The series also includes a Wyoming landscape painted after camping on a climbing trip, inspired by a sunset caught in a single cloud drifting above open grassland. A final work reflects my first traditional climb at Elephant Buttress in Boulder Canyon, painted in the style of another Colorado artist as a study in influence, respect, and learning through interpretation.

Together, these works form a personal record of growth, challenge, and place. The series captures mountains not as distant icons, but as environments experienced through movement, effort, and time, where painting became a way to process and hold onto moments of awe, risk, and connection.
