I photograph lonely trees along my journeys- after modifying the images I hand print them to plaster- the imagined forests are individual images collaged together to represent a journal of my travels.

I use graphite on paper to create highly realistic figurative art. Occasionally, I add watercolor, colored pencil, or gesso to heighten details.

Folded paper gives life and movement to my butterflies, dragonflies, peacocks, etc. A colorful 3D visual experience, which changes from different angles and lighting it gives an uplifting sensation.

I make linoleum block prints. I carve my original design into a block of linoleum, print it on white archival paper using black oil ink, then hand-paint the result with transparent acrylic inks.
