MEET THE ARTIST
I am an American-based artist with an eclectic focus creating expressionistic, abstract, and illustrative artworks in various mediums. Whether with a brush or a pen, each work is an exemplification of my influences, passions, and creative explorations. For me creating is a deep seeded need to express an idea, emotion, or concept through any chosen medium that best suits that work.
MY STUDIO
Come inside and see where I create my works of art.
THE SPACE
My studio sits at a central junction of my home. While small, the space is filled with my favorite things representing my various fandoms and passions. With two painting stations, a desk and drafting area, I can easily move throughout the space focusing on different project phases and administrative duties within any given day.
While I may not keep the space tidy, there is a sense of organization that helps keep me from feeling overwhelmed by chaos. That along with the soft yellow walls, teal accents, and both direct and indirect sunlight throughout the day, my studio is warm and cozy allowing for creativity to take center stage.
Working It.
There are days I may spend up to ten hours in my studio, creating, tending to administrative duties or even generating artist prints. My two favorite times of day are in the morning when the sun directly illuminates the work space, and in the late afternoon early evening when the reflected golden glow of sunset creates a relaxing warm hue.
Mornings are best for getting my day mapped out, and evaluating the previous days works. Often this will be the time I do a practice sketch, write out ideas, or work on illustrations. It is peacefully quiet, allowing for productivity.
The afternoons are I reserve for painting or work that requires standing and moving. This helps keep away the sneaky afternoon fatigue, and re-energizes my creative spirit.
Working in my studio is my sanctuary. It is a place of peace, exploration, and expression without judgement. I love my studio, and being close to my family who inspire me every day.
