About the Artist

I work almost entirely in watercolor and spent the early part of my career experimenting, trying to control the medium. I’ve focused on specific subject matter: ancient structures, fishing shacks on coastal cliffs, architectural curiosities. However, I’ve recently found that I’m mostly interested in producing an emotional richness achieved by focusing on elements of design and embracing a lack of control. As humans we are always changing, and I expect to keep changing. It’s important to me that my art changes accordingly. I’m a student of watercolor, always learning from other artists and influences. Regardless of success, I hope to always be a student of the medium.
