A studio in oil

Painted slowly,
in the old way.

Mythology, vanitas, florals, and the long quiet things in between. Each piece begun in shadow, finished in light.

The work that stays with you.

Most pieces take months. Some take longer. The slowness is the point — these are paintings, not products.

Commissions

Currently accepting.

A small number of private commissions each year. Portraits, mythological subjects, memento mori, florals. Sittings done from photograph or, if local, from life.

"Amor fati" — love the fate that comes. The paintings are a long, slow attempt at the same idea: to set down what is, in shadow and in light, without flinching.
