The refinement of a work over time is like the lens of the human eye, noticing more at each encounter.

"The Resolution: Part 1," Watercolor on Panel, 2025
The absorbent ground I painted this on is the first time I've tried gessoing the panel before painting. As with most paintings, resolution happens over time. This is the first of many installments. To track levels of fidelity over time.

"The Suspension of Disbelief," Watercolor on Paper, 2025
We are suspended us in a spectrum of wholeness. It is our breadth of individuality that makes us one. We can either let it divide or unite.

"Planting the Seed," Ink and Gouache on Masonite, 2020
The seed has been planted. How are you going to adapt? Think before you act. Resolve before you speak. Evolve before you sleep.
