About

My paintings reflect the beauty and rhythm of the natural world, brought to life through layers of paint and mediums that evolve over time. Inspired by the observations and drawings of the world around me, my compositions are organic and fluid, allowing the images to reveal themselves without preconceived notions. Color and texture are my guiding forces. Each piece is a memory landscape capturing the essence of time and nature with the use of oil paint, printmaking, and drawing with mixed mediums.
