Selected Work

Alongside my studio practice, I’ve brought my painting to brands, publishers and editorial clients. Some projects began as commissions; others, like Unusual Animal Messages, grew from my own ideas and were developed all the way through to publication. Whether it lives on a shelf, a coffee cup or a page, the goal is the same: bringing color, texture and storytelling to clean, professional design.

Gouache Features
