Artist Statement

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

​

Emotionally, I seek out subject matter of things I love, like animals, places or things that make me feel at home. Visually I'm attracted to geometric shapes and contrasting, bright colors, details and textures; this is the subject matter that I look for. I paint my subjects realistically because 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; each piece I create serves as a visual expression of what is meaningful to me. Through painting, I'm able to tell a story, preserve meaningful moments and connect with what I've experienced.
