I’m a lifelong maker, a full time architect, and a weekend painter, working and living in Roanoke, Virginia. I started working in watercolor in 2018 and am completely smitten with the medium, and humbled by the challenges it presents.

My work begins with seeing, and a deep desire for discovery, revelation, and immersion.

I paint what interests me. The things that jump out of the ordinary, the mundane, the default, the overlooked or forgotten. I immerse myself in the lush shadows, intense light, reflections, shapes and colors that, when mashed together, look like our world.

The majority of my current work is transparent watercolor with a mix of pen and ink washes. My figurative work includes natural and urban landscapes, regional subjects, and work inspired by travel. My abstracts spring from compositions found in my completed works or photography.

I am learning to crawl. But this is a joyful journey; rich in discovery and deeply satisfying.
