My work encompasses a broad range of interests, and each piece reflects a standalone investigation in and of itself.
It’s been described as Neo-Romantic by some publications, though I more see my work as a devotion to beauty, to craft, with continuous lines of inspiration arising in waves.
I aim to make each piece as sumptuous as possible, just shy of too-much, giving the viewer a visual feast to absorb and become lost within.
From there, each piece then is gilded with 23 karat gold or White gold, adorning the butterflies, halos, flowers, or other elegant details.
I begin with walnut-ink stained paper working in layers of charcoal to build the image. This creates their sense of sfumato and solidity, despite few clear lines.
