in May 2026, I traveled to Florence, Italy to study artistic anatomy in the city that birthed figurative art as we know it today. a small circle of patrons directly supported this period of study.
*you will be receiving sketches, writings, and original paintings over September and October*
a signed and printed studio booklet complete with original sketches and writing from my time at the Florence Classical Academy of Art will soon be available for pre-order to my collectors.
thank you for making this incredible period of study possible. so much more to come from this.
Florence occupies a singular place in the history of art patronage. From medieval guild structures through the height of the Renaissance, sustained support for artists made possible the study, experimentation, and mastery that shaped Western figurative tradition. This lineage supported artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Donatello, Botticelli, and Brunelleschi, whose work continues to inform how the human figure is understood and depicted.
