Portfolio
Here is a small sampling of artwork showcasing whimsical and weird subjects done with traditional watercolor and gouache paintings to ceramics. I switch between mediums and styles, but you can often see influences from Japanese and Asian culture and various folklore.
Projects rarely begin with a fully formed vision in mind. Often I make decisions in the moment and let the energy of the piece guide me. Each work takes me on a journey that has a sense of play and curiosity that breaks the rigidity of adulthood - a feeling I hope to share with those who enjoy my art.

Watercolors & Gouache
Watercolor is my primary medium - the light and luminosity are an integral part of a composition. It can be a little unpredictable but learning to let go of the control and embracing the painting process is part of the joy. Occasionally I will switch to gouache for different effect or add details using ink.



Ceramics
I began my journey into ceramics in 2024. It challenges me in a very different way and provides an alternate outlet for creativity. There is something fascinating about bringing a sketch to 3D or translating a design to something other than paper.

Live Painting Demos
I often bring my travel palette with me as a way to pass time or to demonstrate painting at events. I enjoy doing small pieces as a way to engage with attendees and hopefully spark creativity for someone else.

In Person Workshops
Join me in my workshops where we learn how to make a monster friend from clay, a musical ocarina, or paint a miniature watercolor.
