I create paintings and drawings that explore the emotional weight of nostalgia and childhood, often through still life, surreal imagery, and symbolic objects. I also return often to landscapes and florals—subjects that allow me to study beauty, memory, and the passage of time from a quieter angle. Whether working digitally, in colored pencil, oil, or acrylic, I build each piece in layers, gradually refining texture, form, and light to capture the mood or memory I’m chasing. In oils, I often begin with bold, direct brushwork to lay down the image quickly, then return over several sessions to build depth and nuance.

My work is rooted in a desire to create wonder and spark introspection. I hope viewers feel something both familiar and reimagined—like a story they almost remember. Themes of hope, joy, empowerment, and growth appear often, though sometimes sorrow surfaces too. I believe art can offer both escape and clarity, and I try to hold space for both in my practice.

Whether exhibited in galleries, used in teaching, or sold at pop- up artisan events, my work invites people to look closer—and maybe remember something true.
