Artist Statement

My art draws inspiration from the powerful, often enigmatic feelings and memories that define us as individuals and navigate themes such as personal relationships, intimacy, and memories of a place. These paintings act as a visual diary inviting the viewer to participate in the intimacy of my lived experiences where each brushstroke is a deliberate act to preserve these fleeting moments. When I sit and paint, I engage with my subconscious desires, not someone else’s projection. I come to know myself, what I want, who I love, what I fear, and Who I am. I aim to evoke a sense of authenticity and familiarity, prompting viewers to reflect on their own lives, the people they love, and the memories they treasure.
