I love to make paintings, and I found how hard it is to keep true to that love these past years. Ironically, I make paintings to communicate and express what I can't with words, but here I am for every work I make, needing to write to describe it. I am a painter whose work translates the moments and experiences of daily life into oil on canvas, blending realism with expressive, painterly mark-making. My paintings often transform into surreal narratives that delve into shared fears and anxieties, inviting viewers to reflect on universal themes of vulnerability and the human condition.
