Description
Take a Sip is more than wall art—it’s part of the story of Arlington itself. This framed matte canvas captures one of the community’s most well-trafficked coffee shops and wine bars, a space where ideas, friendships, and movements have quietly brewed alongside steaming cups and poured glasses. Rendered in striking pen and ink, the piece preserves the character of a favorite local hangout while adding a timeless, modern touch to your home or office.
I create this work as a local artist, writer, and designer rooted in the DMV. My creative journey spans from my book Sapience: The Moment Is Now to the upcoming Houses of Wreckage graphic novel—both projects exploring history, power, and the struggles shaping our future. This canvas is also part of The Reckoning Line, a series born from the protests I have attended since January 20, 2025, and conversations with federal employees whose livelihoods were upended in today’s shifting political climate. Each piece I design is both an artwork and a witness statement, blending beauty with context, community, and conscience.
Whether you’re an Arlington native, a DMV local, or simply someone who loves art with a story, Take a Sip makes a powerful and personal addition to your walls. It also makes a thoughtful gift for art lovers, coffee-and-wine enthusiasts, or anyone who treasures the places that shape our everyday lives.

“Local Lines” is a series of pen-and-ink works capturing the landmarks, hangouts, and quiet corners that make Arlington and the DMV unique. Each line drawn preserves a piece of local history, weaving everyday community spaces into the broader witness of The Reckoning Line.
