These pine trees, illustrated in shades of red and pink and detailed with pen, represent a beloved stand of trees my brother and I explored during childhood.

"Messes with Medication" - 2025
This is a watercolor piece depicting a grapefruit with unusually dark leaves and a bright citrus interior. While aesthetically inviting, grapefruit interactions with medications are as intriguing as they are inconvenient.
[ Watercolor on paper, salt, and black ink]
"Salt Bouquet" - 2023
This piece explores the interaction between natural textures and abstract form. Salt crystals disrupt the watercolor pigment, creating fractal-like, organic patterns that contrast with the rounded shapes of the plant imagery.

"Bird Berry"
This is a branch from a berry bush with exceptionally dark foliage and bright, colorful berries. In every natural area, there tend to be beautiful plants that hold beautiful berries that are not poisonous to the birds that enjoy them. I still like to watch how the birds negotiate through the thorns to get to their food.

"Blue Branches"
A dark green and blue watercolor consisting of colorful, deep layers. Reminiscent of rolling hills in cow pastures in the deep humidity of Iowa.

"Blue Moss" - 2025
What had initially started as practicing using limited colors, this watercolor piece ended up in the portfolio. A bright trail of blue undergrowth leads through the trees and hanging moss.
