These pieces are best seen in person, where you'll appreciate their tactile quality (you can touch them!) and the playful contrast between lines and the grid of the tiles.  When painting with layers of underglaze, I love the challenge of thinking several steps ahead, storing near-invisible details in my head.

Through art, I communicate the push/pull of constancy and change and the beauty of humanity and small pleasures in daily life.  My paintings can vary in size and materials, and use carved stamps and tape to create texture and delineate space. recreating the surface of a scene (eg, a restaurant, bar, street), with abstract elements acting as commentary. I'm interested in showing lives with empathy.

If you're looking for a finely detailed portrait or invitation for your special occasion or business event, check out my samples, below. I work in pencil, pen-and-ink and watercolor. I also work professionally as an editor, and can help get your wording across sensitively, effectively, and beautifully. I'm very amenable to making my clients happy!
