Beyond the Collection
A living record of works that have found their permanent homes.




Arc
Where the art lives now
Every piece carries a piece of the studio out into the world. These original works now anchor rooms, catch morning light, and continue their stories on collectors' walls.
Lichen & Clay No. 4
Now residing in a quiet coastal home in Maine. The collector fell in love with the hand-torn edges and the subtle ochre undertones that shift as the afternoon sun moves.
It feels like a window to the Oregon coast, right in our kitchen.
Eleanor S., Collector
Warm Smudge Study
This piece started with layered charcoal and heavy oil pastels. It now sits above a vintage record player in a mid-century California studio, catching the soft golden hour light.
The texture is so physical; you can see the artist's hand in every stroke.
Marcus K., Collector




A record of exploration
From grainy 35mm film photographs to hand-folded cards with deckled edges, these archival works represent a continuous dialogue between medium and texture.
Begin a new story
While these specific pieces have found their homes, the studio is always turning over new layers. Let’s collaborate on a custom mixed-media piece or a bespoke series of hand-torn cards tailored to your space.
