Saratoga Springs Pavilions

2021-2022, watercolor and ink. Using a combination of architectural and artistic drawing techniques, I documented in elevation nine of the most popular spring pavilions throughout downtown Saratoga Springs and Ballston Spa. These structures house the mineral spring water fountains throughout the area.

Commission Work

2021-2022, watercolor and ink. A collection of custom commissions, from family homes, getaway cabins, and even a model railroad building. If you are interested in a custom piece, please contact me here.

Final Project: The Memory Museum

2020-2021, digital media (V-Ray, Adobe Photoshop) and analog media (watercolor). A selection of images produced for my final thesis project The Memory Museum at Rensselaer School of Architecture, under project advisor Chris Perry. The project explores the relationship between history and architecture through the concept of the palimpsest, defined as a surface onto which information has been added, erased, and covered over time. After producing “discursive” images using these techniques in both digital and physical media, I applied these techniques to designing a form for a museum on the site of the former Sutro Baths in San Francisco.

Final Series for Intermediate Drawing

2020, graphite, charcoal, and watercolor. Merging aspects of traditional landscape painting and architectural sketching methods in a collage-like manner, this series explores the relationship between the familiar and unfamiliar, new and old, and natural and artificial. Juxtapositions of the natural and architectural, Old and New World, and the like revolve in each piece around a specific theme, such as a building typology (church) or a concept (ruins). This comparison seeks to elevate the familiar which we often consider mundane to the level of attention and fascination we apply to the unfamiliar and exceptional.

Studies of Rome

2019, graphite. Architectural studies conducted for Architecture of the City while studying abroad in Rome. Each week’s assignment was to create a “board” of drawings of a particular building or public space, incorporating plan, elevation, section, axonometric, and perspectival drawing into a single composition.

Sketchbook Pages

2022, watercolor, ink, and graphite. Various pages from sketchbooks, from normal to mini-sized.

Miscellaneous Buildings

Saratoga’s Historic Springs

2022-2023, watercolor and ink. Using historic photographs and illustrations as documentation, this series replicates in elevation eleven of Saratoga Springs’s historic spring pavilions, which attracted visitors to sample the mineral waters during the height of spring water tourism in the city. Some springs were housed under different pavilions throughout history; however none of these remarkable pieces of architecture exist today.
