My favorite subject is the human figure.
Among my aims are to continue the traditions of representation in painting, which includes narrative content. A contemporary figure painting can reconnect its audience with the wisdom and delight of ancient myths and ideas, and challenge the viewer to consider human nature as both progressive and unchanging. The human body continues to play a vital role in my work, as it allows me both a meet a technical demand and to explore its spiritual, moral and political condition in contemporary culture.
I paint from observation with the desire to command my subject to remain on the canvas long after the subject has departed.

My paintings explore the intersection of abstract realism and expressionism, using texture and value to create lost edges and add a sense of mystery to the everyday. My creative process is guided by the poetic beauty and grace of nature, and I am constantly experimenting with new materials and techniques to bring my artistic vision to life. I find that floral forms offer a rich and versatile language for expressing the shapes, lines, and forms universally found to be beautiful.
I draw inspiration from themes related to symmetry in Art Nouveau and the intuitive beauty of expressionism, which have shaped my artistic vision and influenced my creative process. I am particularly drawn to the natural references from these art movements, which I often incorporate into my work. Through my art, I aim to express the feelings of my true self, be they ones of joy or sadness.
I believe that art has the power to unite and to empower, and I am committed to using my work to inspire others to share their unique vision of beauty. Through my paintings, I hope to create a sense of connection and contemplation, inviting viewers to engage with their own experiences of the natural world and to explore the complexity and depth of their emotions.
Thank you for taking the time to explore my art. I invite you to engage with my work and to join me in my artistic journey.
