Statement
"I don't begin a painting with a plan. I begin with a feeling — a quality of light, a memory of color, a texture I want to live inside for a while."

Journey
A focused progression
Over a decade of sustained studio practice — from foundational drawing to international collector work.

2016 – 2020
Series and Exhibitions
Shifted into cohesive series work and public exhibitions, refining narrative composition and scale while building collector relationships.
2021 – Present
International Collector Focus
Current practice centers on museum-grade output, private commissions, and globally shipped originals and editions.
