Studio Journal
The Studio Journal documents the evolution of my work as an artist.
Sometimes a painting begins with a simple observation: a flower blooming in winter, fallen fruit glowing against dark grass, fog rolling across the land. These entries follow the ideas that grow from those moments and the paintings that emerge from them.
The Assignment That Changed Everything
Sometimes your life changes and you don't recognize it in the moment. A typography assignment, a mentor's advice, and a portrait of Einstein unexpectedly became the beginning of my word portraits.
Back in Motion
Two weeks of twelve-hour days on a rice farm left me feeling strangely disconnected from my life and my art. What started as a temporary job became an unexpected lesson in attention, momentum, and learning to stop forcing things.
