Hand-made art that reflects the beauty of our world with a timeless aesthetic.
Welcome to Evergreen Sketch Co. A sketch is a shadow — an impression — of what the artist sees. They aren't detailed photographs of a scene; rather, they capture the essence of a subject in a unique, organic way. A sketch offers a timeless, neutral aesthetic and reminds us that there is beauty in the process.
I hope that you're able to connect with my art in a way that inspires you to look for the beauty all around you. Enjoy browsing the collections, and thank you for visiting.
Featured Collection
Mt. Rainier
Each sketch in this collection is a slightly different take on the mountain, mostly of the Southern face. Some are rough sketches that trace the primary lines and shadows. Some are views through gaps in the evergreen forests. And some bring out the highlights, shadows, and contours of the face.
More than other types of trees, evergreens seem to carry a whimsical, unique character. I love the way a single tree can stand out in a forest. Some have graceful boughs, others have grown through difficulty and have a scar to proved it, while others look like they came out of a Dr. Seuss book. This collection is an ongoing work because the variety is endless, and these are a favorite subject to sketch.
I’ve been around and appreciated art from a young age. But as a child, I remember being frustrated with art — disappointed that I couldn’t translate the pictures and ideas I saw in my head to paper.
As an adult, I've enjoyed picking sketching back up through a different lens. I'm embracing the process, including the mistakes. It's a way of slowing down, putting down screens, and having space to reflect.
