Artist Statement
When you look at a painting, you get a glimpse into the human spirit and search for a connection or story. Capturing people and objects in traditional painting is timeless and innovative, a way to connect the old with the new. It builds upon the foundations of the past while pushing the boundaries of the present. My goal is to inspire viewers to stop, feel and wonder. As I paint, I dive into the essence of people and their stories furthering my own artistic journey and discovering myself.
