Original Works & Architectural Commissions
Pure pigments hand-milled and suspended in archival seaweed binder on deckled heavyweight cotton rag. Rooted in mathematical sequence and New York street scale.
From bench strikes to institutional installations, every work is an original composition delivered with archival provenance.
Direct explorations from the studio table testing mineral saturation, wet-bleed kinetics, and interference luster. Perfect gateway pieces for emerging collectors.
Finished individual compositions on heavyweight archival rag. Mathematical Fibonacci spacing and chromatic density for residential and executive suites.
Multi-movement triptychs and expansive horizontal fields. Engineered to anchor living spaces and private corporate salons.
Monumental multi-panel installations, atrium commissions, and site-specific architectural integrations. Private viewing dossier and white-glove handler delivery.
The physical street exhibitions and public presentations in NYC. Showing scale, ambient light interaction, and architectural coordination for bespoke commissions.
Extensive archive of prior exhibitions, private commissions, and studio series. Clients and architects use these archival references to coordinate scale, palette, and custom commissions.
Traditional watercolors rely on gum arabic. In this studio, paintings heavily incorporate funori—a rare Japanese seaweed extract historically prized by master conservators in archival book restoration.
Funori provides extraordinary physical body, allowing heavy mineral pigments—pure lapis, burnt umbers, and micro-metallic interference crystals—to remain suspended without sinking, creating depth unavailable in commercial paint.
Specially selected minerals interact dynamically with changing room light. As daylight gives way to evening illumination, the painted surface shifts tone and reveals hidden chromatic dimensions.
Executed on dense, archival cotton rag with natural, hand-torn deckled edges, designed to float suspended inside deep shadowbox frames.
Digital viewing provides access; physical presence provides conviction. The studio welcomes collectors, interior architects, and institutional advisors by private appointment in the Meatpacking District.
Examine how large suites respond to morning eastern window light versus direct spotlighting.
Browse preliminary study cards and floor strikes directly from the working bench.
Select matched hardwoods—natural white oak, aged walnut, or raw blackened steel float profiles.
