Extravagant bountifulness for the collector seeking beauty —and something a bit unusual

Purchasing a work of art is an act of discernment. It’s a choice that lingers- on your walls, in your life, and maybe even through generations. That’s why my pieces are created with careful attention to longevity: archival materials and craftsmanship that endures. But beyond preservation, a painting or drawing should enchant. My goal is to create work that continues to reveal itself over time; it’s something that draws you in again and again, offering new details, textures, and emotions each time you see it.

Drawing is where I live

…and love is in all the little details.

The world teems with beauty, but I’m particularly drawn to the often-overlooked creatures and plants that dwell in the mosses and fungi. The tiny, secretive lives that shimmer beneath the leaf litter - subtle, strange, and luminous in their quiet way- are the heart of my work. They remind me that magic doesn’t shout but hums.

Graphite drawings are a particularly intimate way to experience this world. Their silvery tones feel timeless and suit any space. They are also wonderfully accessible art, and can be a meaningful gift for a wedding or anniversary, or just a purposeful addition to your own collection. Carefully rendered and rich with fine detail, each drawing is a love letter to the hidden wonders of the natural world.
