About Town SOMA
60 illustrations of South Orange & Maplewood NJ
120 pages of illustrations made while observing the hustle & bustle at coffeeshops, cafes, flower shops, toy stores, art stores, pools, community bands, dive bars, gazebos, and everything local to Maplewood & South Orange New Jersey.
These places are the threads that weave the fabric of our towns. Whether you’re a lifetime resident or you just moved here, this book is full of memories.
Mugs and Accessories
I paint portraits. I paint murals. I paint things that take 10 minutes. I paint things that take (at least) 10 days.
You may catch me making sketchbook paintings of cafés, coffeeshops, restaurants, flower shops, and so on and so forth. If you’re from Maplewood, NJ like me your favorite place may be in my book of illustrations. If it isn’t, let me know where to go and I’ll meet you there for coffee or whatever they serve there.
I’ve been a full-time artist since 2022, after two decades as a graphic designer. It’s been an amazing journey so far and I’m just getting started. More about me (including a podcast episode) on my about page.
