The Centurian, Watercolor, Pen&Ink
As a Blue Ridge Naturalist living in the Appalachians, I create nature portraits and maps inspired by the region’s landscapes, wildlife, and rhythms. My work blends close observation with the precision I developed as an architect, giving each composition structure, detail, and presence.
I often begin studies digitally, then finish them by hand using pen and ink, watercolor, acrylic, or airbrush. Moving between these materials lets me build transparency, texture, and atmosphere while keeping the work responsive and alive.
My goal is to draw viewers closer to the natural world and spark renewed attention to the living details that surround us.
