My Pensacola studio is where these paintings come to life. Take a closer look at the space, the tools, and the hands-on work behind each piece.

The space

Surrounded
by the work.

My studio holds the paintings, the palette, and the tools I use to bring each figure into the light. The work surrounds me here, on the walls and at the easel.

This is where I spend time with each canvas, shaping the shadows and watching the figure emerge. Up close, you can see the hands-on practice behind the finished paintings.

A closer look

Brushes. Pigment.
Paint-covered hands.

The finished painting begins here: with a palette, a brush, and the touch of my fingertips. These are the details of the studio that a gallery wall cannot show.

The artist’s touch.

I work with brushes and my fingertips, softening edges and shaping black shadow around the light.
