I work in many different mediums, but a common thread between all of them is challenging perceptions and provoking curiosity- inviting viewers to contemplate the interplay between reality and imagination. I strive to capture the essence of realism while infusing each piece with a touch of unexpected delight.

By blending technical skill with artistic innovation, I hope to inspire others to see the world with a renewed sense of wonder and possibility. I work in traditional drawing and painting techniques on paper, and I also go back in to some pieces in a digital format.  This helps me “sculpt” and “sketch” all kinds of ideas until I find just the right level of spark.  I am fascinated with the injection of elements of surprise into familiar scenes, inviting viewers to explore beyond initial impressions.  I find inspiration from children’s book illustration, scientific and botanical illustrations, and collage.
