  • Original works range from intimate Studio Studies (11×14") up to large Signature Works (up to 36×40") and multi-panel installations. If you have a specific wall dimension in mind, especially for a residential or commercial project, reach out to discuss a custom size or commission.

  • Yes. I love collaborating on custom pieces. Whether you're looking for a specific size, color palette or something created for a particular space, I'm happy to talk through what's possible. Get in touch via the contact page and we can go from there.

  • My work falls under the series I call Atmospheric Abstractions a combination of professional mineral pigments (earth-derived, lightfast and raw), natural tannins from wine and coffee that create sepia-toned washes and fermented depth, alcohol inks and high-grade acrylics. The result is layered, textured work with an organic quality that changes in different lighting.

  • Yes, I offer a 15% trade discount to verified interior designers and design professionals. To access trade pricing, simply get in touch with a link to your firm or business and I'll set you up. I'm also open to discussing commissions and custom sizing for residential or commercial projects.

  • You can browse and purchase small studies and prints directly through the website. Payments are processed securely at checkout. As for large signature works, please reach out via the contact form to discuss payment and shipping options.

  • Each piece is a one-of-a-kind original, so all sales are final. That said, I want you to feel confident in your purchase, if you have questions about a piece before buying, please reach out and I'm happy to provide additional images, detail shots or a video walkthrough. Prints are limited edition and also final sale once shipped.

  • Yes. All prints are released in limited editions, each numbered and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. Once an edition sells out, it won't be reprinted. Edition sizes are noted on each print listing.
