Inside the Studio

These articles explore the quiet observation, compositional thinking, and lived experiences that shape my work—from growing the flowers I paint to studying pollinators, composing with the Harmonic Armature, and documenting animal skulls from life. Whether you're discovering my paintings for the first time or looking to deepen your own creative practice, welcome.
