New Collection: Seaworthy
-Salt air, rhythmic waves, the poetry of shorebird and seashell woven into a freedom song. That moment where your feet hit the bubbling edges of the surf. Somehow you feel more like yourself, more alive.
The Seaworthy Collection honors that feeling. Characterized by windy brushstrokes, a sun washed palette, and detailed moments of charming coastal wildlife, this collection captures the radiant balance of energy + calm the ocean shows us.

A peak into the process
A Refined Color Palette
For a long time, I’ve said I don’t have a favorite color, I have favorite color palettes. The interplay between colors next to each on a canvas is a living thing, changing the properties of the individual tones. The impressionists staked their souls on this concept!
Gentle
Soft colors to wrap you in a cozy glow frequently bathe my work in comfort.
Minimalist
Every color of the rainbow isn’t necessary to convey a mood. Emotion is most communicated through what is left out, revealing the essential message.
Analogous
The colors that sit side-by-side on the color wheel create an inherent sense of peace. I particularly love blues and greens together!
Enchanting
Will the girl in the portrait have lavender hair? Quite possibly. Sometimes reality needs a bit of a polish, an element of humor or magic. The world wasn’t made to be ugly, so I’m unapologetically idealistic.

Graceful Lines
An element of art you’ll find prominent in my work is the beautiful, hard-working line. What may seem an obvious part of any painting is actually not so common. Clear boundaries to my subjects, a direct gaze, a curvatious line for the eye to follow- these elements give my work an honesty that you can live with.
Natural
Organic lines inspired by nature’s form give life and depth to each piece.
Fluid
Juicy, curving shapes that cativate the eye and beckon you to wander through each work.
Clean
Lost edges and hazy subjects don’t usually make an appearance in my paintings. Clarity is something rare in our times, so I prefer to elevate it. Clean lines are confidence.
Classical
Simplicity is the truest form of elegance, and I love the balanced, calming lines of the Classical period in history.
