Gilded Paintings
Original Paintings designed to live together on your walls.
ART. ANIMALS. ARCHITECTURE.
DESIGNED TO LIVE TOGETHER.
My work explores intimate coexistence between humans, animals, and the places they inhabit. Hand-applied metal leaf and layered paint invite quiet reflection and presence in every piece.
Featured Available Works
A curated selection of original gilded paintings.
Inside the Studio
Each painting begins with layered color fields and hand-applied metal leaf. Gold, silver, and copper surfaces shift with light, creating a shared luminosity between subjects.
Select works are currently exhibited in gallery and curated spaces across Missouri and Massachusetts.

Wild Urban Homes KC
When Kansas City’s Art in the Loop announced the theme Home, I began wondering where belonging truly lives. In Quiet at Home, a family of owls nest beneath the Nelson-Atkins Museum lawn — where architecture and wildlife quietly share the same ground.
