Illustrated Ramblings
The visible story is only part of the story. Every life contains stories that remain invisible to those around us.
For viewing and reading only
The visible story is only part of the story.
These paintings begin with real people, places, and moments, then expand outward through portraiture, symbolism, and abstraction to explore the larger stories surrounding them.
Archive statement

About the archive
The visible story is only part of the story.
This archive began with a simple curiosity: the visible story is only part of the story.
Each painting begins with a real person, place, or moment. The reflections preserve the memories, relationships, questions, and experiences that shaped the work.
Together they form a personal archive of family, identity, belonging, loss, hope, and the stories that remain beneath the surface.
