A Different Kind
of Noise

You might know me from my work in marketing — but this is something else entirely. Watercolor found me, and it has become a way of seeing the world more slowly.

I live in Tennessee, and most of what I paint lives here too — the soft light through the trees, the way water holds color at dusk, the birds that show up outside the studio window. Occasionally the sea pulls me away.

Every painting is made on professional-grade cotton paper with archival pigments. These aren't decorations — they're meant to last, to be passed along, to mean something.
