These works function as both studies and complete pieces—places where I follow a material, a new color palette, or a quiet observation. Many are made while traveling or spending time on the water, where working at a smaller scale allows me to create away from the studio. I work in layers of paper, water-based paint and inks, and found materials—whatever I can carry with me. Rooted in the same process as my larger work, they feel like field notes gathered along the way—small records of attention, where something begins, shifts, or quietly resolves.
