Artist Statement

Oil painting has been a passion of mine since I was a child; artist is a trait that runs in my family.

​

My art is a reflection of the world I see and the emotions I feel and sometimes places I'd like to be. My love for animals and places that evoke comfort and familiarity drive my work. I seek out subjects that make me feel at home, that connect me to a deeper sense of belonging. Realism, for me, is not just a style-its a pursuit of skill, a way to explore my craft and to push the boundaries of my abilities as an artist.

​

My paintings are an expression of the stories and memories I wish to share. Lately I've been captivated by Americana, particularly themes that ground me and bring me closer to the feeling of home. Each piece I create serves a s a visual expression of what is meaningful to me. Through painting, I'm able to tell a story, preserve meaningful moments and connect with the essence of what I've experienced.
