SKULLS AND BONES
Drawings and Paintings
Each collection explores a different conversation with nature—from stories held within the bones to the quiet hope found in a wishbone. Together, they reflect on memory, impermanence, and what it means to be fully alive.
30 Skulls in 30 Days
Completed in October 2016, this month-long project became a turning point in both my artistic practice and the way I understand the world.
Painting one skull from life each day transformed a technical challenge into a quiet meditation on impermanence, observation, and living with intention.
Skull & Bone Portraits
Drawn and painted from life, these works begin with quiet observation.
Each skull became an opportunity to look beyond anatomy—reflecting on memory, impermanence, and the human experience through careful study and contemplation.
The Skull Narratives
These narrative still life paintings look beyond anatomy to explore the stories held within the bones.
Through carefully constructed compositions and accompanying essays, each work invites quiet reflection on life, death, memory, and the human experience.
The Wishbone Series
Small in scale but rich in meaning, these minimalist paintings use suspended wishbones as quiet symbols of hope, longing, and self-reflection.
Each painting invites us to pause, consider what we truly desire, and remember that sometimes making a wish is enough to reveal the answer.
