Artist Journal

Welcome to my Artist Journal, where I share the stories behind my work, reflections on creativity, and updates from my studio.

After several years of successful painting, I pivoted to groundbreaking research in virtual world simulations with the military for many years —designing immersive environments that explored human interactions and sense of place. Now, back at in the studio, I'm blending those experiences into new watercolors that capture emotion, transition, and connection.

In this space, you'll find:

  • behind-the-scenes insights,

  • progress on new works (currently under construction!), and

  • thoughts on how art intersects with life.

Whether you're a gallery curator, fellow artist, or art lover, I invite you to explore and subscribe for monthly updates straight to your inbox.
