My graphite work is rooted in patience, observation, and an appreciation for nature’s quiet details. I create each drawing by hand, layering graphite to build depth, texture, light, and shadow. Without the distraction of color, the smallest details become more significant: the curve of a petal, the texture of a surface, or the subtle transition between light and darkness. These drawings reflect the same attention to light and natural forms that influences my photography, while letting me slow the creative process and explore each subject one mark at a time.
