*A huge hank you to Etsy & West Elm for featuring my work in WE's holiday catalogs and on their website! Stay tuned to West Elm's blog and Facebook for more.

Using abstraction and minimal mark-making, I aim to capture the psychological weight weather carries whilst utilizing the inherent properties of paper itself: it soaks, warps, and stretches under the strain of water; stained as a trace to these events.

“I watched the flooded willow trees bend in the wind, and the moss on the dead cypress in the bays straighten and fall, and the sunlight danced and shattered on the water when the surface suddenly wrinkled from one shore to the next.”
–James Lee Burke
