Exhibiting
Line drawings
Made over a 4-year period, this ongoing series of line drawings is an anthology of moments drawn from imagination and from life.
“Nineteen Sound Pieces”
Nineteen Sound Pieces is my first book of poems and paintings. You can see the original A5 ink paintings from the book here and the signed limited edition book.
“The Yellows”
A5 gouache paintings now include larger A4 and A2 size pieces. The glowing yellow element gives the sense of something significant, perhaps previously overlooked.
