I am a self-taught mixed-media artist working in pen and ink, watercolor, acrylic, and oil. My practice is driven by curiosity—I enjoy exploring new materials, experimenting with techniques, and discovering unexpected beauty in found objects. Whether working with precise line work or expressive layers of paint, I embrace the process as much as the finished piece.

My work often draws inspiration from the remarkable architecture of insects, whose intricate forms reveal an extraordinary balance of structure, pattern, and delicacy. At the same time, I am equally captivated by bold, unrestrained color and the emotional energy it brings. These two influences—careful observation and bold experimentation—meet in work that is both detailed and expressive.

I believe art doesn’t have to be predictable. Its inconsistencies, surprises, and happy accidents are what make it meaningful, and I find comfort in allowing each piece to evolve in its own way.

I live and work in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, where Studio #208 at The Button Factory serves as my creative workshop and laboratory for an ever-evolving collection of paintings, illustrations, and mixed-media experiments.
