My work is rooted in color, curiosity, and a love for finding beauty in everyday life. I create abstract and figurative mixed media paintings incorporating layered materials, texture, color, and found objects.

When I am not painting, I often return to my sketchbook. It gives me a place to play, experiment, and work through ideas without the expectations of a finished piece. I enjoy allowing the process to unfold naturally and seeing where marks, colors, and shapes lead me.

When I need to step away from the studio, I take my camera with me and photograph the ordinary things I encounter—quiet moments, familiar places, overlooked objects, and the small details of everyday life. These photographs remind me that life is not only about the next exciting or important thing. There is beauty and meaning in the simple things we often overlook.

Through my paintings, sketches, and photographs, I am learning to slow down, stay curious, and appreciate the moments that might otherwise go unnoticed. My work is an ongoing exploration of color, observation, and the beauty found in the everyday.
