Washington Watercolors

Got to do a few watercolors recently—not as adventurous with color as I’d like, but so fun to paint!

Makin’ Murals!

It’s been awhile since I designed the mural for my church’s annual HOPE Day of Service—something we do every MLK day—here are the designs I did and the final murals, located at Huntington Drive Elementary School—it was a great day, and a great team—enjoy!














Mid-Century Trek!

Architectural Glory!

I grew up in Syracuse New York throughout the 80s and I remember A LOT of cement in the architecture there. Lemoyne College, the Library, the Museum, etc.--LOTS of cement; and while many say that this particular style feels oppressive, when I look at Brutalist architecture, I'm attracted like a moth to flame--not only because there's a heightened vibe of my hometown, but as an artist, these shapes are truly gorgeous. Came across some particularly great examples today--not all Brutalist, but definitely a lot of cold, comforting, calcitrant cement. 
Plus, a lot of amazing stories behind most of these...
