About the Artist
As a sketch artist, photographer and painter, I’m drawn to moments of common experience — whether a sidelong glance, whimsical wink, the mannered gesture, or even a good old-fashioned dirty look. A pair of work boots on a doorstep, an abandoned factory, or a warmly lit window at night all have stories to tell. There’s real beauty in a farmhand’s furrowed brow, a musician’s earnest performance, a mustang struggling to run free, or an older couple learning to dance. Be it a quaint landscape, character study, or candid sketch, I'm forever seeking a familiar presence. I cannot look at an empty park without wanting to add a forgotten diary to a lonely bench.
It’s the evidence of humanity I chase with my art.
