Bodies & Bones

I Knew a Man

Tempera, acrylic, pencil, pastel on canvas · 36 × 48 in. · 2024

$1,650 Available

Built up in layers—tempera first, then acrylic, then pencil and pastel pushing through. The skeletal form isn’t drawn on the surface; it surfaces through the material, the way bone structure eventually shows through everything.

What I’m Holding

Acrylic, oil pastel, marker, pencil on canvas · 16 × 20 in. · 2024

$150 Available

The body as container—what it carries, what it keeps, what shows through. Mixed media layered fast, each material leaving its own kind of mark.

Figures

Strangers in the Streets

Pencil, acrylic, pastel on canvas · 14 × 11 in. · 2024

$140 Available

People you almost recognize. The pencil line does most of the work—acrylic and pastel fill in what memory fills in, which is never quite right and never quite wrong.

Abstract

Reflective Light

Acrylic, chalk pastel on canvas · 18 × 24 in. · 2024

$150 Available

Color and surface doing what they do when you stop asking them to be something. Chalk pastel over acrylic—the matte dragging against the sheen.

Works on Paper

Run Baby Run

Pencil, pen, pastel on paper · 12 × 9 in. · 2024

$85 Available

Small and fast—pencil, pen, pastel, all moving. Works on paper let the hand go where it wants without the weight of canvas.
