Reflections
Writings on painting, design, and the quiet intersections of art and life.
Here, I share thoughts that accompany my work in the studio—writing as another form of seeing. These reflections explore painting, design, and the everyday sources of beauty that shape my creative life: the Vermont landscape, the influence of light, and the quiet elegance of well-made things. I think of this space as an ongoing dialogue between art and observation, where process and contemplation meet.
The Beauty of Imperfection
“I’m not looking for flawlessness but for a surface that feels lived-in, human, and inevitable.”
Reflections trace the sources of inspiration that shape my work—from the Vermont landscape and its changing light to objects, architecture, and the timeless beauty of craftsmanship. Each reflection is an invitation to slow down, observe, and find meaning in simplicity.
