I am a painter of portraits and calligraphic lines currently inspired by feathers, bones, branches, Arabic script and Art Deco.

Re-purposed wood is often featured in my work. The wood grain itself becomes an essential part of my paintings which I manipulate with stains and texture before sealing over and applying oils. By leaving much of the wood surface exposed I draw the viewer into the marriage between the graphic and the organic, realism and abstraction.
