Translating the living architecture of the Monet Pool into structured line studies 🌿✨
When visiting gardens, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer volume of details. During my recent trip to the Denver Botanic Gardens, I focused on the Monet Pool not just as a scene, but as a rich study in organic geometry—isolating the contrast between structured lotus pods, floating lily pads, and surrounding negative space.

Before jumping onto a canvas, I love using small-batch grid studies in my sketchbook:

Step 1: Isolate the Organic Geometry — Break complex natural forms down into core line, silhouette, and structure.

Step 2: Work in Grids — Setting up small frames removes the pressure of producing a "finished piece" and lets you explore variations freely.

Step 3: Translate & Mark-Make — Test brush pen linework, fluid washes, and gestural marks to build dynamic contrast before scaling up.

Working small in a grid lets intuition lead without worrying about the final outcome.

📌 Save this post for your next post-travel studio day or sketchbook warm-up!

Stepping away from the easel always changes how I see when I return 🌿✨
A few days of travel brought fresh textures, vibrant contrast, and unexpected line work into view. Now that I’m back at my workspace, all those ideas are spilling straight onto the board.

When you travel, what’s the first thing your eyes gravitate toward—architecture, nature, or color?

Directing this fresh energy into new layers today. Studio doors are wide open! 🎨👇

So thrilled to see this custom 36”x48” piece settled into its beautiful new home!
There is nothing quite like working closely with a collector to bring a vision to life for a specific space. From the initial intuitive layers and mark-making to building rich texture and geometric balance, watching this piece transform on the panel—and now take center stage in such a warm, inviting setting—was an absolute joy.

A huge thank you to these wonderful homeowners for trusting my process and inviting my work into their space!

Spent the Afternoon diving deep into the magic of Pthalo Blue ( green shade)💙✨
There’s something so liberating about dedicated studio time with zero expectations—just exploring mark-making, testing values, and getting lost in the richness of a single pigment. From deep, moody undertones to soft, luminous glazes, this shade never fails to amaze me.

Swipe through to see some of today's experiments on paper, playing with symbols, texture, collage, and color contrast! 🖌️📜

Loved this playful energy so much that I can't wait to share it with you in person! I’ll be teaching "100 Ways to Start an Abstract Mixed Media Painting" at LexArt on September 20th. If you want to jumpstart your own creative process and break past the blank canvas, come join me! 🎨

Pursuing the Horizon
30”x30”
Mixed media on paper
“I saw a man pursuing the horizon; Round and round they sped.” — Stephen Crane

There’s something captivating about the idea of a horizon—not just as a physical line where earth meets sky, but as an ever-shifting boundary between structure and freedom.

In this piece, I wanted to explore that tension: a dense, grounded field of deep green and geometric grids below, set against a restless, energetic movement of gestural layers and scribbles above. The hard line doesn't just divide the canvas; it creates a threshold to move through.

Sometimes the horizon isn't something you reach—it’s the movement itself.

The Common Thread I 4’x3’ I acrylic and mixed media on wood panel
Excited to wrap up this large-scale commission! Today was all about applying the final varnish and taking a moment to step back and take it all in.

The Common Thread explores the interplay between structure and intuition—bold geometric forms, rich tactile layers, and a continuous fluid line that winds its way through the entire composition, connecting disparate moments across the canvas.

Working at this scale allowed me to build deep textures with collage, energetic mark-making, and contrasting fields of color. The sweeping line acts as a visual guide, pulling the viewer through the shapes, patterns, and subtle details hidden within the layers.

A question for my creative friends:What’s the biggest challenge you face when starting a brand-new art piece?

🎨 Is it picking the color palette?

🎨 Overcoming the fear of that first mark on a blank canvas?

🎨 Or knowing when a layer is finally complete?

On Sunday, September 20th (1 PM – 4 PM), I’m hosting a special hands-on workshop at LexArt in Lexington, MA all about overcoming that initial hesitation and building dynamic, layered mixed media art!

Whether you’re a total beginner or a seasoned painter looking for fresh inspiration, we’ll explore techniques to get past the "blank canvas" block and make art freely.

“Art is just a series oh happy accidents, relentless layering, and a bit of serendipity.‘
One of my favorite parts of creating abstract mixed media art is making space for chance. You can start with a clear direction, but the moment paint hits paper or a new collage element finds its place, the artwork takes on a mind of its own.

Embracing those unexpected marks and spontaneous moments is where the real magic happens—it’s a constant dialogue between intent and discovery. Every layer carries a piece of that journey: some parts stay visible, others get covered up, but all of them give the final piece its soul.

Which slide reveals your favorite texture close-up? 👇

Grateful for the creative energy and community at and my upcoming class - The Blank Canvas Breakthrough - in September. Look for it in their fall catalog.

Postcards From the Coast 🌊✨
12”x12”
Acrylic and mixed media on wood panel
Fresh off the easel and heading to the upcoming themed show, JOURNEY!
This piece explores movement, memory, and passage—both physical and internal. Combining vintage postal fragments and ticket stubs with a guiding lighthouse and birds in flight, every layer holds a piece of a story. The rich crimson hues contrast beautifully with the delicate, lace-like patterns in the background, drawing the eye across the textured surface. Strong black line work grounds the beacon, standing firm against the upward sweep of the flock and the stamped numbers that hint at an unknown destination.
