Selected studio works

The visual archive

A curated catalog of tactile canvas works, medium-format silver gelatin darkroom plates, and commissioned editorial monographs produced between New York and coastal Maine.

Canvas cycles

Pigment and linen series

Every painting body develops across unhurried cycles, utilizing raw mineral pigments, cold wax, and hand-stretched Belgian linen to investigate tactile memory and architectural shadow.

Cycle I
Cycle II
Cycle III

Tuscan Ochre Studies

Nocturne Monoliths

Sediment & Bone

Layered Italian clay pigments and cold wax on coarse unprimed linen. Five monumentally scaled works measuring 72 by 96 inches.

Dense bone black washes bound with walnut oil over gesso grounds. An investigation into tonal compression and twilight light.

Powdered limestone, ash, and pale olive binder applied in rhythmic horizontal strata. Sized for contemplative residential spaces.

Analog prints

Darkroom silver gelatin plates

Exclusively captured on 120 and 4x5 black-and-white negative film, developed by hand in small darkroom chemistries, and printed on heavyweight fiber-base papers.

Studio provenance

Every canvas and darkroom print leaves the studio accompanied by a signed folio register, documented pigment composition, and certified archival housing.
