Statement
As a contemporary impressionist from a long familial line of creatives, I express the fleeting emotions and fragmented thoughts of our ever-evolving society through my work. My art is a reflection of the chaos and beauty of modern life, with bold strokes and deep hues capturing moments of both discordance and quiet reverence. I invite the viewer to not only lose themselves in the energy and texture of my canvases, but to grow more accustomed to living with, near and inspired by fine art every day. For me, art is not only a product or outcome, but an experience that reveals the essence of our existence through an intimate lens, and in turn lets us connect with our unique spaces and world around us.
