Urban landscapes, built upon layers of collected collage and intricate patterns, come together with watercolor modulations, graphite mark-making, and thick impasto acrylic paint to express a beautiful harmony of emotive painting. My work is expressive of journeys and guidance, shelter, and pathways. Colors harmonize and patterns move to lure you into the painting, revealing stories and unusual objects. I work full-time at a graphic design agency while pursuing painting part-time in my studio. I am surrounded by old maps, buttons, sticks + stones, love letters, and wonderful colors that all join to create artistic expression.
