My process is grounded in
poetry and craftsmanship.
each design begins with a
poetic theme, which
inspires the initial sketches.
next, i use traditional
indo-persian painting methods
to dye the paper and transfer
my artwork using raw pigment
and a porcupine quill.
In the words of the japanese zen
poet basho, “seek not to follow in
the footsteps of the masters;
seek what they sought.”
I am grateful to have
studied with master
painters in several
traditions to create
a syncretic blend
of regions, eras, and
styles.
