Art
Watercolors, mixed media, and small studies shaped by close observation.
This work grows out of a studio practice of noticing. I use paint, thread, and occasional photographs as ways of paying attention—capturing fragments, testing relationships, returning to patterns that persist. The pieces are not meant to describe places, but to stay with texture, rhythm, and change. They’re meant to feel like moments of stillness you can hold in your hands.
Why I make these pieces
I turn to painting and stitching the same way I turn to writing: to slow down and see more clearly. Photography often enters at the beginning—as a way to catch an idea, a structure, a relationship—before it’s translated into paint or fiber. Many pieces begin as small gestures and evolve through repetition, variation, and repair.
Together, they form a visual record of attention: how small shifts accumulate, how forms respond, how patterns hold.
A few studies from an ongoing studio practice, shaped by attention:
These images are studies of light, texture, and presence. You’re invited to move through them slowly, noticing what resonates rather than looking for explanation.
Some pieces and process images also appear on Pinterest, where this work intersects with journaling and visual prompts.
