Every piece begins outdoors..in a quiet observation, sketchbook in hand.

Structure, rhythm, light, and details are carefully studied before paint ever touches paper.

Field Studies

Observation becomes structure.

Field studies form the foundation of every painting..

Back in the studio, observations gathered in the field are carefully developed into refined botanical compositions.

Studies from observation

Watercolour paintings

From these studies, the final watercolour compositions are gradually developed in the studio.
