About the Artist

My work reaches for stillness—a place where quiet wisdom can be found, and where small aspects of beauty wait to be discovered and held within a larger context. Through the abstraction of nature, I work to create images that hold serenity alongside the less settled: that which lingers. The sustained and patient attention each piece requires, thousands of small dots accumulated slowly, is not separate. It is the same gesture made by hand.

Inspiration & Source Material

The genesis of each drawing is grounded in quiet observation. The primary source material emerges from long, contemplative walks, time spent in my neighbor’s garden, and visits to botanical and historical sites. These physical places offer moments of unexpected geometry, organic structure, and subtle light that serve as the foundation for deeper, surreal exploration in the studio.

The Process & Practice

I came to ink stippling over twenty years ago while completing my Master’s in Art Education. A professor suggested I give the medium a try, and I haven't looked back since.

Stippling requires an unwavering pace and deep visual patience. Using fine-line technical pens, each composition is built dot by single dot over tens or hundreds of hours. This deliberate, slow-burn process transforms raw photographic references into meditative studies on form, texture, line, and light—inviting the viewer to step out of the noise of daily life and into a space of quiet contemplation.
