ARTIST STATEMENT
My work embodies the optimism and serendipity of adventure, capturing spontaneous, joyful moments through vibrant palettes and intriguing compositions. Each piece serves as a visual reminder to appreciate the present, drawing from memories of travel, nature, and daily life. I primarily use acrylics to express the vivacity of fleeting moments, with rapid layering and unexpected pops of color symbolizing discovery and joy.
Nature is a significant inspiration, whether depicting vast landscapes, intimate flora, or graceful birds. My paintings invite viewers to engage their imagination, adding intrigue and a sense of adventure. They celebrate the thrill of the unexpected, from unexplored paths to familiar views, and highlight the joy of living in the moment.
