Artist’s Journal

A living archive of artwork, inspiration, and the places that influence my paintings.

Art & Travel Inspiration: Reflections on the places, textures, architecture, colors, and moments that stay with me and how they find their way into paintings.

Collaborations & Collectors: Stories of where the art lives after it leaves the studio — from private collections and commissioned paintings to licensing partnerships, hospitality placements, and special projects.

Featured Paintings + Collections: A closer look at specific paintings and collections of work.

Sketchbook: Notes, fragments, photographs, collected images, and painting inspiration gathered from my personal archives as I follow what still resonates and what may find its way into the work. Read the series introduction here.
