Each original is painted in oil, sometimes embellished with gold leaf, on canvas or panel. I work in layers — drawing, underpainting, then adding more color and glaze’s — until the edges, pattern, and light sit still. The subjects are the ones I keep returning to: figures, animals, ornament, and the quiet space between them.

Every painting is custom framed. I choose the frame for that piece alone — proportion, finish, and line — so the work is complete when it leaves the studio, ready to hang.
