fantasy botanical worlds

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, stable surfaces, 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—something that draws you in, again and again, offering new details, textures, and emotions each time you pause to look.

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. These small beings—subtle, strange, and luminous in their quiet way—are the heart of my work. They remind me that magic doesn’t shout; it 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—whether as a meaningful gift for a wedding or anniversary, or a thoughtful 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.
