Observations gathered before they become drawings, rooms, or designs.
2014
City street
Tower in fog
The building keeps climbing after the eye loses it, a vertical thought swallowed by weather.
2015
Urban street
Street murals
Sun, paint, and parked metal make the block feel improvised, as if the walls are still deciding what they want to be.
2015
Downtown
Blue hour towers
At dusk the city turns theatrical, all silhouette and colored light before the night fully commits.
2016
Fence line
Fence watch
The fence cuts the frame in two, leaving one small witness above the gray wash of sky.
2017
Columbia, Missouri
Storefront frame
The sign does the loud work, but the real picture is the glowing rectangle of labor behind it.
2017
Chicago, Illinois
Water Tower Place
Stone, glass, grid, and height crowd together until the city reads like a stack of competing histories.
2017
Roadside
Oceano sign
A weathered sign leans out from the wall like a small coastal promise at the edge of the road.
2017
Irvine, California
Aqua building
A building softened by color and rounded glass, more object than facade in the afternoon sun.
2017
Coastal park
White circle
The figures gather under the tree with strange ceremony, bright and still against the fading coast.
2018
Street edge
Wires
Every line finds another line, and the sky becomes a score for small waiting shapes.
2018
Public interior
Lobby color
A waiting room pretending to be landscape, with red walls, yellow lockers, and strangers resting inside the composition.
2019
Process space
Pinned walls
Before finish, before paint, before illusion: just openings, shadows, and the blunt honesty of construction.
“I am a camera with its shutter open, quite passive, recording, not thinking.”
2019
Ship deck
Deck shadows
The deck is almost overdrawn by light, each railing and support leaving another piece of geometry behind.
2020
Interior structure
Blue skylight
Ironwork and glass pull the eye upward until the ceiling starts to feel like open air.
2020
Rail display
Yellow railcar
Primary color, summer light, and a found bit of play turn the old railcar into a bright little stage.
2020
Transit entrance
Metra entrance
The entrance blooms out of the sidewalk, delicate metalwork holding a red glow against the evening.
2021
Transit platform
Platform frame
Tracks, steel, and old windows layer into a city seen from between movements.
2021
Night street
Mayne marquee
The marquee throws color into the dark, making the sidewalk feel briefly ceremonial.
2021
Chicago, Illinois
Brick facade
A wall of windows and ornament, held flat by parked cars and late color at the curb.
2021
Chicago, Illinois
Cloud Gate
The plaza folds into itself, a public mirror making the city briefly liquid.
2021
Chicago, Illinois
Wolfy's sign
A sign with no interest in subtlety, turning lunch into scale, color, and pure roadside performance.
2021
Civic architecture
Capitol steps
All columns and weather, the building holds its pose under a sky heavy enough to press back.
2021
Night street
Glenn's sign
The neon hangs in the dark like handwriting, soft at the edges and bright where it matters.
2021
Columbia, Missouri
University of Missouri
Stone, tracery, and a clock face carrying the weight of campus memory upward into the sky.
2021
City alley
Alley aperture
A strip of blue above fire escapes and dark walls, narrow enough to feel discovered rather than seen.
2022
Meadow
Dry field
The whole field gathers around a few brittle stems, making a tiny foreground feel like weather.
2022
Outdoors
Autumn portrait
A face in warm leaves and broken sun, the background dissolving just enough to hold the moment still.
2022
Forest
Vertical texture
Trunks rise like a quiet interior, all columns, grain, and filtered green overhead.
2022
Leavenworth, Washington
Painted village
A facade fully committed to its fiction, with color and trim doing the work of place-making.
2023
Home
High shelf
A shelf becomes a lookout, and the room below turns into scenery from the wrong angle.
2023
Walkway
Threshold
The tunnel narrows everything toward a clean circle of sky, a small rehearsal for arrival.
2023
Street wall
Wall character
A person, a painted creature, and a flat wall briefly agree on scale.
2023
Scene shop
Shop volume
The shop holds its breath before the work becomes visible: lumber, lifts, ladders, and overhead steel.
2023
Street parking
Green car
A little green form at the curb, rounded and stubborn, carrying its own weathered charm.
2026
Shopping plaza
Rocket court
Space travel rendered at plaza scale, heroic and oddly domestic among storefronts and passersby.
A working archive, not a finished statement.
A quieter record of influence: source material, fragments, and visual habits that keep the work looking outward.
