~Oracle of Feather Series

My drawings begin as compositions of found objects, photographs, and my quirky and perhaps a bit dark imagination. I first draw an outline of the composition onto paper, then build the image with layers of colored pencils. Through this careful layering, depth, texture, and contrast begin to emerge, as light rises out of shadow.

These drawings are spaces of reverence and reckoning — quiet rituals where mystery and transformation unfold.

~Style: Symbolic & Mystical Realism

This approach grounds the familiar in reality while opening space for reflection, mystery, and transformation. It is shaped by my quirky imagination tinged with shadow, where precision meets mood, and luminous detail is tempered by undertones of foreboding. Through this balance, each piece becomes both recognizable and uncanny, inviting viewers into a space where meaning unfolds gradually and resonance lingers.

~Birds as Messengers

Birds are a constant presence in my work, appearing as carriers of meaning — watchers, messengers, and guardians of the unseen. Frequently crowned, they hold symbolic stature, elevated in importance, ritual, and wisdom, as if entrusted with quiet truths.

They are not merely decorative and colorful forms, but living symbols of resilience, transformation, and the unseen connections between worlds. Their presence carries a quiet gravity, at once luminous and marked by eeriness, as though they move between shadow and revelation.

In nature, even the simplest gestures speak: a leaf falling, a branch snapping, a bird’s note, or an empty robin’s eggshell. These moments are quiet messages, and I listen. Within my drawings, birds embody this language of subtle signs, guiding viewers toward reflection, curiosity, and deeper awareness.
