I begin with something beautiful— a place, a detail, a feeling— and explore how I can translate that beauty onto the canvas. Color is central to my work and my primary language for creating emotion, atmosphere, and connection. I work intuitively across oil, acrylic, and mixed media. I layer paint with natural pigments, ink, pastels, and unconventional materials, to create depth, texture, and intrigue. I embrace experimentation and allow each piece to evolve organically, revealing its own character and story.
