I am an artist, designer, and builder, using my hands, head, and heart equally. Although I spent many years studying in Boston, I now live in the same small town where I grew up. My decades of experience in the fashion and graphic design industries have brought me back to my true passion - painting - where I cherish the rituals and the moments of intense concentration and creativity.

Through my work, I strive to capture the essence of nature and human emotions, blending realism with abstract elements to create truly unique and captivating pieces. I cherish the rituals and moments of intense concentration and creativity that come with painting and take pride in the quality and craftsmanship of my work.
