Digital Art
Provoked by music, language, and color, these playful images render imaginary landscapes, characters, and narratives.
Figure Drawing
Bodies tell so many stories: see how bodies speak through vivid lines and expressive color.
Mixed Media
Sometimes texture evokes the ineffable. Alternately fragmented and layered, these works use acrylic, ink, oilstick, graphite, pen, and more to produce experiences.
