I’m kicking off 2026 with a new piece from my ongoing Everyday Studies series.
This one centers around the North Carolina dogwood, something that feels both familiar and iconic, but easy to overlook in everyday life. The goal with this series has always been to slow things down and reframe those moments, translating them into something bold, graphic, and intentional.
With Dogwood Study #2, I leaned into a warmer, more grounded palette. The dusty olive background pulls everything together and gives the piece a sense of cohesion, while still allowing the cream petals and saturated reds to hold their own. It’s a balance between restraint and energy. This is something I’ve been continuing to refine across the series.
Visually, this piece sits right at the intersection of flat color fields and loose, gestural linework. There’s no gradient or illusion, just shape, color, and composition doing the work.
Like all pieces in the Everyday Studies series, this is about finding weight in simple subjects. Taking something that exists all around us and pushing it into a space where it feels considered, elevated, and lasting.
