That’s a wrap! What a wonderful Open Studio weekend. Thank you to everyone who came to the studio, it was wonderful to talk with you and share my art. A special thank to those who took home an artwork, or two, I am so excited that you found something to add to your collection.
If you weren’t able to make it this weekend but would like to visit the studio send me a DM so we can make it happen.

Day one in the books!
It was a wonderful day with great conversations and a few pieces off to their forever homes. Thank you to everyone who stopped by. If you couldn’t make it today there is always tomorrow, I’d love to see you!

There’s a lot happening behind the scenes as I prepare for Silicon Valley Open Studios next weekend, and I’m looking forward to opening the studio doors and sharing these pieces in person.
These framed miniatures hold quiet moments of movement, texture, and atmosphere that reveal themselves the longer you spend with them. Seeing artwork up close is always a different experience than seeing it on a screen, and I’m excited to welcome visitors into the studio to experience the work firsthand.
If you’d like updates from the studio, early previews, and upcoming event announcements, be sure to sign up for Notes From the Studio link in bio.

A painting can shift completely depending on the light, the lens, or the screen it’s viewed on.

Documenting artwork well is its own part of the process: careful lighting, color correction, and a lot of small adjustments to make sure the work feels as close to the original as possible.

You can see the work in person during Silicon Valley Open Studios next weekend, May 16 & 17, 10am–5pm. Site #204. (Link in bio)
