Artist Statement

"Art has always been a part of my life. With an artist for a mother, I was surrounded by creativity from an early age and quickly found my passion for drawing and painting.

I work in a traditional style, always pushing my artistic boundaries while staying true to the essence of my subjects. Inspired by impressionists of all eras, I strive to create paintings that evoke emotion and draw viewers into each story.

I’m grateful for the talent I’ve been given and for those who have supported me along the way. Every painting is a reflection of my passion, and I’m honored to share my work with others."
