A little about my practice
Some things are meant
to be felt.
I’m Mitchell, an independent artist working between physical materials and digital expression. Reflected light, wind-shaped sand, the curl of a petal — nature offers the starting points for unexpected encounters.
Let’s make something togetherNotes from the studio / 05
Thoughts, materials and happy accidents.
On letting things settle.
The most interesting movement often starts with a moment of stillness.
Read the note
Reflected light turns a real water surface into an abstract painting. Your gesture adds concentric ripples; once it passes, the original reflection settles back into place.
What a color remembers.
A shade is never alone. It carries traces of every color beside it.
Read the note
A curved facade catches the light like a folded sheet of color. Gold and bronze meet a pale blue sky; the chromatic interaction gently separates those tones before returning the architectural lines to focus.
Permission to be soft.
A shape does not have to be rigid to have a strong presence.
Read the note
Wind draws soft ridges across the sand, changing the landscape one grain at a time. The elastic interaction echoes that quiet movement without hiding the natural texture.
The other side of a fold.
One small crease can turn a flat surface into a landscape.
Read the note
The sandstone walls of Antelope Canyon read like folded sheets. A moving crease of light follows your gesture through these natural layers, connecting the idea of paper to the pages of the earth.
A beautiful loss of control.
A petal, a drop of color, a small world unfolding from the inside.

Curled dahlia petals hold soft color gradients that recall pigment flowing into water. A gentle swirling interaction extends those botanical shapes, then lets the original photograph return.
