Paired Apples

Description

This graphite drawing presents two apples side by side, one shaded in deep tones and the other outlined with a lighter touch. Subtle changes in shading give each fruit a sense of volume, while the sketchbook page adds an intimate, handmade quality. Its understated style would sit comfortably in a kitchen, study, or gallery wall.

I’m a Chicago-born artist who is drawn to the contrast between quiet pencil studies and vivid, glowing color. My work moves from roses, fruit, and everyday objects to playful characters and fluid abstractions, balancing careful observation with a lively, handmade touch.
