A celebration of beauty, mystery, and the absurd, these pieces embrace and celebrate ornamentation and embellishment, flights of fancy, and a journey into the surreal.

After struggling with depression for a number of years, I wanted to push back against that ‘darkening’ of the world around me, and focus on creating images that bring me joy, and even laughter.

I draw on an eclectic set of reference points – including the Venetian Renaissance, Antoni Gaudí, Gustav Klimt, Grant Leier, Tim Walker, and Nick Bantock – and let myself explore the beauty of iridescents and metal leaf, layered materials, and the spaces in between.

I hope you find something here that makes you smile.
