Urban Sketching
In the Summer of 2022, I was in a graduate school summer studio in Bodrum, Turkey, when I picked up a watercolor sketchbook and paints. I dedicated myself to learning to capture the world around me through paint and ink.
Since then, I keep my sketchbook with me every day. The practice has strengthened my creative instincts, encouraged me to be present, honed my understanding of color, composition, and perspective, and connected me to others.
Perfection is never the goal. I seek to capture a place and feeling in a moment in time.
