Welcome to my website (which is really part of my brother's website, so thanks Nils).
At some point, I might learn a little web design to make this pretty, but for now I'll keep it plain and simple.
If you're interested, I've put a bunch of my artwork and computer programs that I've coded up here, linked below.
The artwork is mostly landscape paintings (often from Sweden), and the programs are all java applets that tend toward physicsy simulations.

Programs

Program: Description: Date of Creation:
Arkanoid Brick-breaker type game with curved paddle (and high scores) November 2008
2D Ball Simulation Collide 2D balls, add gravity and/or electricity December 2008

Swedish landscapes:

I did all of these paintings based off of photographs of the Swedish summer camp (Brevik) I went to and worked at for many years.
They're shown here in approximately the order I painted them in.

First landscape:


This was the first landscape I painted in high school, taking the entire second semester of my freshman year.

Swedish Summer


This was the second landscape I painted in high school, taking the entire second semester of my sophomore year.









This was the first painting I did in college, the fall of my freshman year.


This was the second painting I did in college (kind of), starting the spring of my freshman year, but not finishing until the winter of my junior year.


I painted this as a gift for my cousin Zandra's wedding. Click here to see the progression of the painting in seven stages as an animation.


One of my few non-painted landscapes, this was done in a printmaking (lithography) class fall of sophomore year at Williams. I forgot to mirror image the photograph when I drew it on the plate, so Brevik is mirror imaged in the print.

Other landscapes:

(These were mostly done in high school.)

The view from a window in my house in the winter.


The view from a hotel window on vacation in Florida.


Niagara Falls


Some river, at West Point.


High school frisbee.


Poker Flats at Williams College with members of the 07 Frisbee team.


40 landscape paintings, done in a one-week span for a Painting class at Williams College.

Non-landscapes:


My dad playing the grand piano at home.


High school frisbee: me, Greg Desimone, and Josh Sargrad from left to right.


Self-portrait from senior year of high school, in gray colored pencils.


Same self-portrait, redone on Notepad for a Drawing class at Williams.


Portrait of Dave Ahern (back when he looked like Jesus).


Portrait of 11 month old Johan, given as a Christmas gift to Lars, Shaena, and Johan in 2010.
