Dialed In

24” x 36” Oil on canvas

Dialed In is a nod to my years working as a barista—those moments of connection formed through making things for people to consume. This painting shows an espresso machine from the barista’s perspective, rendered in bold, blocked-out patches of color that bring energy and movement to the scene.

The chunky, bright strokes capture the rhythm of service—the fleeting but meaningful interactions that happen while crafting a cup of coffee. It’s a celebration of those small, lived-in moments where care and routine blend together.
