I paint observed moments — places, seasons, animals, and everyday objects — with an emphasis on atmosphere and light. I am drawn to the way light transforms form, especially in transitional hours and shifting seasons. My work seeks to preserve the stillness within a moment — the quiet presence that often goes unnoticed.

Oil paint allows me to build depth through layered color and subtle correction. I’m interested in richness — not just of pigment, but of mood.

Inspired by the dramatic chiaroscuro of Caravaggio, the intimacy of Vermeer, the psychological quiet of Hopper, and the painterly confidence and tone of Sargent, I aim to create contemporary realism that feels contemplative and timeless.
