Making art helps me understand the world. There’s something very meditative about taking all of the ‘stuff’ that accumulates in my head—sensory input, thoughts, memories and feelings—and working it out on a piece of paper. This process helps me focus on the things that matter most and appreciate the tiny bits of good that are everywhere.

My main inspiration is Chesapeake the labradoodle, my best friend and childhood dog who recently passed away. More broadly, I’m inspired by the colors, patterns, textures and forms in my surroundings; I like to explore how places, things and processes change across scale, space, and time. I hope that my art helps viewers slow down—take a moment to enjoy a silly dog or two.

At the moment, the artwork listed on my site is not for sale. However, I have plans to open an online shop in the future.
