I work from observation across drawing, painting, ink, and photography, returning again and again to faces, places, and the things closest to hand.

Statement

My practice is built on looking. I draw and paint from life wherever I can, moving between portraits, landscapes, and small studies of the everyday, and I treat each subject as a chance to understand it a little better. The medium changes with the subject, but the habit of close attention stays the same.
