Why is this a whole separate blog?
Not a huge fan of the gallery carousel. Here I can share my work with a little more context than the gallery carousel provides.

When I have a difficult time getting going on some pieces, I’ve found painting birds, or other wildlife gets my brain into the flow state. Taking a chance to focus on recreating the birds true image with my analytical brain gives my creative side of the brain time to breath and pick a direction. Also birds have great personalities!
Ocular Enlightenment
Please forgive the shoddy photoshop patchwork. “Ocular Enlightenment” Colored pencil on paper. Inspired by a fractalized view of a twilight shoreline horizon and the following opening of the third eye. February 2024.
If you’ve gotten this far, then you might be amused to also learn that this month I did a little tie-dye adventure as well. Photos soon.
