Artist Statement

My art practice centers around drawing on location -- being present and mindful of where I am and capturing what's around me on paper, using watercolor, calligraphy pens, and other mixed media such as markers. I aim to capture a true feeling of being in that place, which can only be achieved by spending time there and observing it with all the senses. There is as much beauty and interest in the mundane surroundings of everyday life as there is in spectacular places. My goals with these paintings are to inspire viewers to appreciate what's around them, as well as to connect with people over shared experiences of place.
